          Great Chen! I see that you are the current owner of his uniforms and badges. Do you also have his KC?

              Here is one from my collection along with his EK1 and EK2, those who is wearing in the photo. Got from the family.

              Wilhelm Wegner (21 September 1914 – 10 March 1989) was a highly decorated Leutnant in the Wehrmacht during World War II. He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. He fought with the Großdeutschland.

                Very interesting material: The medal grouping of Fregattenkapitän Reinhard Suhren shown on the book "Nasses Eichenlaub - Als Kommandant und FDU im U-Boot-Krieg", by Fritz Brustat-Naval and Teddy Suhren.

                I will try to find a better picture, including a close-up on the Swords.

                      This Knight´s cross with OLs and Swords the German dealer Kai Winkler had for sale for almost 20 years ago. Then Another German dealer, Lothar Hartung had it. Too bad I didn´t have the money then...

                        This cross has a very sad story IMO. As I saw it the first time it was untouched (the OL were already missing though) and the next time a major big time idiot had cleaned it. Yes: CLEANED IT!!! 60 years of age was gone...
