Knight Crosses today

[Sepp45]

Hi Sepp,

If memory serves, this is fake a DKiG one like this too with a similar tear.

Regards,
John

Yes indeed John, both documents have the similar tear.

Thanks once again for your information.

These two Crosses are hold within the Museum archives, attributed to Mannerheim.

One of the curious facts is the littler worn condition, but this could be because the Marshall of Finland rarely used them. Only when meeting with German officials.

The medals awarded to Field Marshal Mannerheim by the Germans. These photos were taken in 2000 by the website www.mannerheim.fi; credits to them.

All stored in the Museum.

RK with OL awarded to Obersturmbannführer Christian Tychsen
Kommandeur II. / SS-Panzer-Regiments 2 / SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Das Reich" / Armeeabteilung "Kempf" / Heeresgruppe Süd
Awarded the Ritterkreuz: March 31st, 1943 - Oak Leaves: December 10th, 1943

After being wounded more than nine times in total, he was killed in Normandy when the Kubelwagen, which he was in with a driver and an NCO, was fired upon by an advancing American tank. He died of his wounds in American captivity. Looters took his tunic with all his decorations and all other types of identification, so he was buried as an unknown soldier, but was later identified.
