Johannes Bölter - RK in April, 1944

[Sepp45]

RK awarded to Leutnant Alfred Regeniter
Führer 3./SturmGeschBrig 276
Awarded the Ritterkreuz: April 5th, 1945

I've read somewhere that Regeniter only found out he was awarded the RK in the 1960s and he was presented with a 57 RK. So I'm guessing that's not his wartime piece..

Same medals of Fregattenkapitän Reinhard Suhren? The photo on the right is an old one.

I was told that the awards of Suhren were sold at one point by Kai Winkler and then by Lothar Hartung..

And finally purchased by Peter Tamm?

RK formal award document to Major Paul Dowerk
Chef 5./InfRgt 215
Presented on: January 15th, 1942.

This photos come from an incredible footage of the British Pathé in 1961, during an auction of Third Reich Items in England.

Most likely Dowerk's mappe was stolen by a British Soldier after 1945.
