                      A Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves attributed to Generaloberst Alexander Löhr is currently being offered by Weitze.

                      Some other items from the estate are also offered, like his PO badge with diamonds.

                          This is a strange document, so I would like to hear your opinions.

                          SS-Obersturmführer Paul Egger was awarded the Knight's Cross by the commander of the XI SS Panzer Army SS-Obergruppenführer Felix Steiner. The preliminary award document bears both signatures of Heinrich Himmler and Wilhelm Keitel.

                          Egger is recognized by the Ordensgemeinschaft der Ritterkreuzträger des Eisernen Kreuzes e.V. (OdR).

                            I'm thinking it's completely/totally fake. No need for 2 signatures AND stamps.

                              The cross in the photo looks fake too, kind of half a Grand cross. I'm assuming its added to the photo. He clearly got the award, but it would be interesting to know if he ever received a cross.

                                Indeed, it's a postwar photo
