Thank you for the photo Mr. Hritz, truly a unique piece!

How did it come to your collection? What is sold by the family?

It was a gift from Jost Schneider. Jost was a friend of Dietrich and acquired a lot of material from him, after the war.

GFM Kesselring's diamonds on May 1945, during the aftermath of the surrender in Austria.

Kerstin von Lingen, author of the book: "Kesselring's last battle", states that on 15 May 1945, Kesselring was taken to Mondorf-les-Bains where his baton and decorations were taken from him and he was incarcerated.
