    What Happened to Gunther Ralls RK?

    Since he's given a large number of interviews and is still alive, does anyone know if he was able to hold on to his RK, and other awards (it looks like he didn't win the DKIG which I find odd)? Or was he another victim of liberated awards?

    Some subsequent reading shows that alot of his doucmentation was taken by occupying Soviet forces.

    He was in fact the recipient of the DKIG.
