    cheers

    Paul
    Could it be Gen.Maj. Werner Gebb? He was in OKH/HPA (Oct.'40-Sept.'42) when he was an Oberst.

          An interest RK to discuss, so I need some help here

          I've read that danish author Erik Haaest asked for SS-Obersturmführer Søren Kam's Ritterkreuz to be used as photo for the cover of his book about his life during WW2. Anybody else knows if this solid or not?

          Here's the booker cover and a postwar photo of Søren Kam wearing his Knight's Cross.

          Any helps is welcome! Sorry for the tiny pics..

          Regards,
          Sepp.

            I've just talked to the current owner of Kam's knightscross and he told me
            that it's not Kam's knightscross on the cover of the book.

            Regards

              Presented on: March 20th, 1944

              The photos come from the book "The Face Of Courage: The 98 Men Who Received The Knight's Cross And The Close-Combat Clasp In Gold", by Florian Berger.
              And Franz Dutter was also one of only a handful of men who earned these 4 awards:

              1) Knight's Cross
              2) Close Combat Clasp in Gold
              3) German Cross in Gold
              4) Honor Roll Clasp "Heer"

              Kind regards, Peter

All of the awards, including the KC are the Admiral's originals.
