Poor quality picture, but this is another view of Drewes' awards, from a video about the life of former Luftwaffe Ace.

Hi guys! A member of the forum "treasurebunker" added a picture of a KC last year that, according to him, belonged to Major Erich Rudorffer. This cross is in the hands of a collector...

Does anybody knows the fate of Rudorffer's medals?

i thought they were still in his hands!

On 22.04.2010, the family of former RKT Korvettenkapitän Friedrich-Karl Paul, donated all the medals (including his Knight's Cross) to the Deutsches Marinemuseum in Wilhelmshaven.

I could only managed to get one single photo of a Knight's Cross displayed at the museum, but no further info. Has anybody ever been there?
