Knight Crosses today

[InfanterieSammler]

Would you care to elaborate, Frank?

Oh where to begin...In early 1942, Bodewin Keitel was signing the VB's which came out of the Heerespersonalamt. The Schmundt signature is a bad a copy anyways. This style of VB did not show up until later 1943. The authorizing stamp is probably intentionally faded because the faker didn't have a convincing one to fake it with.

John

Kumm s document is a fake ! Offered by different auctionshouses a few years ago. Also this fake document was in the auctions catalogue Hermann Historica!

And this was the grouping offered by Hermann-Historica. Oddly, it was taken off the website but not the catalog in .pdf

Erwin Rommel's grouping (awards, medal bar, baton, etc..) are stored at the Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. I didn't have a name of the place before, but now we do.

And from a footage taken from a documentary made by Spiegel in 2013, here is another view of the amazing KC that once belonged to the Desert FoxD

Diamonds mappe also stored at the same museum.

The Eagle has landed.

I think the mappe was facing down in the box..

If I remember correctly, the Kumm grouping was withdrawn from the auction before it started.

The back of Gille's Diamond Cassette.

As told by a fellow member via PM:

"The eagle from his diamonds cassette was removed and the diamonds broken out of it. The eagle was always with the cassette . Now some idiot has glued it on it so it could be presented in the latest Rommel exhibition".
