    The Limmer Mappe is hand signed as well -- when you look at all the ones posted you start to realize how few are actually signed by AH as opposed to "pantograph"

          A youtube video of Wittmann Antique Militaria Show Journal - MAX 2013, captures the moment when they interview Helmut Weitze about Sepp Dietrich's RK with OL, Swords and Diamonds.

          Weitze states that this cross was given to him by Dietrich's daughter in law..

          Anybody knows something else about the diamonds?

          Is it the real deal?

          Thanks to WAF member Wood (Pete) for sending me the video link.

          Regards,
          Sepp.

              @Sepp45: It'll be featured in Dietrich's IMC magazine.

                It was on display for one hour and i had a chance to veiw it and talk to weitze. I always find it very interesting the history and stories of militaria after the war and the jonurney through time to present day.

                    Since we were debating a few topics below about Sepp Dietrich's KC, I thought it would be nice to add this rare picture of a video still about his funeral.

                    You can see his RK, among other awards, being carried during the ceremony.

                      The P/O has been de-nazified, I can't see if it has the diamonds. I wonder if these were originals kept at home with the family or post war replacements to take their place.

                        Perhaps Dietrich knows more

                            Could be.. Here's a photo of Dietrich wearing the a KC that appears to be the same one shown on the pillow.

                            He's talking with SS-Sturmbannführer Albert Stenwedel, 1959.
