no sense to get posthumously LDO case IMO

no sense to get posthumously LDO case IMO

An anomaly, yes. But the anomaly lies not in the fact that the set was posthumously awarded in an LDO case, but in the fact that it is a second pattern Godet oaks in a LDO case. The set came directly from the family in Berlin into an older collection, along with many other items of Marcks. Given that everything was handed into the PZK after the ban on the sale of commercial pieces, it is not unreasonable for a post-LDO piece to be issued in any available stock case, whether LDO marked or not.

Falley was killed in an ambush carried out by paratroopers of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division, on the country road outside the rear wall of the German 91st Infantry Division's headquarters, Chateau de Bernaville, in Picauville, southwest of Sainte-Mère-Église, Normandy.
