[frankandfrank]

What story is this.
For sale is a knights cross K & Q with COA from Niemann from 2006 !

belonged to General Paul Seyffardt!

True or fake story from Niemann ?

[Leroy]

Was it presented as his actual "award cross"?

[frankandfrank]

It will sold with a few papers (not important )!

Found this from 2006 in the forum:

I hear you Bob. My RK came with some papers from an Oberst (school stuff and an exercise notebook) and I'm sure with a decent pic I could confirm or deny whether the items are linked. Paul Seyffardt, born 1894, alive 1958. Generalleutant 1.1.43. Taken prisoner as CO 348 Inf Div September 1944, KCIC and GCiG. Especially looking for photos as an Oberst or right after he made General."

Perhaps it is a reissue cross, sent to him while he was a POW.....

Perhaps it is a reissue cross, sent to him while he was a POW.....

.. in Hamburg?

Who knows?
Or maybe he wore the same cross he was awarded throughout the war and into captivity. Perhaps the only German General not relieved of his stuff.
