greetings, Stefan

As far as I can remember, there are many exhibits by Kertz
lost. He had these according to his own statements
entrusted to a comrade, but never arrived at his home.

The KC in addition to the awards, which were on the uniform
the Russians at once took it from him, when he was at
BERLIN wounded in 1945 and was taken POW.

Only those certificates / possessions have been received
who are now in my collection.
