    Great to see the picture of the diamonds. Thanks for sharing.

    This is truly a historical masterpiece.

        did the germans burry Rommel with his awards?
        I have seen pictures of a dead Rommel, and he was wearing his Generals uniform + KC, PLM and some badges. Or did they remove everything before placing him into the earth?

          He was cremated so that nobody could ever find out his true cause of death by investigating the body.

            Pierre,
            I wasn't aware that Rommel received a Pilot/ Observer's badge in Gold with Diamonds? Is that accurate?

            Steiner, Rommel was cremated so the awards could not have been buried.

                Yes, Rommel was a recipient of the Luftwaffe "Doppelabzeichen mit Brillanten".

                  I'm sure he didn't feel a thing.

                    Were the diamonds the platinum or silver type?

                    Thank you,

                    ...should be the silver type...the platinum is somewhere else

                      Pieter,

                      You seem to know a little something about his Diamonds. Can you expound a bit?

                      Is the set I posted (from another forum) his, or someone else's?

                      Regards,
                      Leroy

                        ...I'm not home at the moment, but I think the set you posted is Rommels silver set.
