[Pieter Verbruggen]

Adolf Galland's Oak Leaves document and mappe are in the hands of a US collector. Galland was furious that the collector would not return his property.

Well, Pieter, perhaps it has changed hands since I last saw it.

And, yes, historially, the Pope does live in Spain, if you are a Jesuit.

On the funeral pillow, what is the medal on the left hand side?
the one with the black cross, and what looks like a skull.

I have no idea about the whereabout of Skorzenys medals (except the RK shown by Dietrich) but I seriously doubt that an Austrian or German would have done an engravement like 16-10-43.
