    These are exactly my thoughts!

      This should be the best pilgrimage in Europe for Third Reich items collectors no matter fat is trimmed off or not.

        More like getting out while the getting's good. Don't want to be looking for a chair when the music stops...

          Yes, 2 schools of thought.
          I tend to be in Bob Hritz's school.

            This is a bigger shot of Rommel's B-piece currently stored at his Stuttgart Museum, among other items such as his Marschallstab.

              That will be the ultimate KC together with the ultimate diamond as both worn by Rommel before.

                    Wow. Just...wow. You are right that this would be the ultimate collection. No doubt about that. -Ger

                        Can anyone tell for sure who is the maker of the cross attached to Brandi's Brilliants?

                          The "3" in the date looks very odd.

                            Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel formal award document for the diamonds, awarded to him on March 29th, 1944

                            This document is still in the hands of the family.

                                According to current information the Marseille Diamonds were never presented to Hans Joachim Marseille - he died in Africa - or his family.

                                I took these photos in 1987. A couple of years later there was a break in at the Museum and many Medals were stolen. Probably this one as well, because at the new Luftwaffen-Museum in Berlin-Gatow there is only Marseille's Me-109 rudder on display (which was also on display in the old museum) but not these medals.
                                A different photo of the "Marseille set" before stolen.
