    Hello MY Friend Sepp !!!!! If you could contact Bob Hritz, I believe he can give some real good info on his post war 57 RK w/Diamonds. Tom

                Thanks Tom; I thought the photo came from some book wrote by Bob Hritz or something

                Regards,
                Sepp.

                  Interesting read about Mooyman's KC, posted by a member of the AHF:

                  "Mooyman's first Knights Cross was taken from him by a US soldier at May 4th 1945, as he told a reporter in 1967. He bought himself a second one in Germany in the 50's. That is the one that he gave away to his closest comrade (and also a medal collector). This man died a few years ago and his son finally sold the Cross to a well known Dutch collector who lives in the area of Rotterdam." (http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=39666)

                  Regards,
                  Sepp.

                          Thanks for the words, Nick I would like very much that my thread be pinned, but its not up to me.

                          I'll try to find more info on Vocke's RK.

                          Regards,
                          Sepp.

                              Hi guys! A set of photos sent by WAF member javi_e about a RK grouping belonging to a decorated soldier.

                              The pictures were posted by a family member via facebook, but no further information available so far. Sorry for the poor quality.

                              Apparently he got the RK on November 11th, 1944.
