      This is a really good discover; took me some time, but finally I have some light on Tychsen's RK.

      After being wounded more than nine times in total, he was killed in Normandy when the Kubelwagen, which he was in with a driver and an NCO, was fired upon by an advancing American tank. He died of his wounds in American captivity. Looters took his tunic with all his decorations and all other types of identification, so he was buried as an unknown soldier, but was later identified.
      This has nothing to do with a RK, but one amazing discovery: Obersturmbannführer Tychsen's helmet was taken away also with his RK.

      Just wanted to share it here

                            In the same book, there were also the examples of Kapitän zur See Hans Rehm and Korvettenkapitän Hermann Büchting.

                            Also bad fakes?

                              Since we are possibly detecting fakes from that book, here's the last one: the RK with OL of Korvettenkapitän Heinrich Bleichrodt.

                              No zoom, so nearly impossible to tell, right?
