KC at the 45th Infantry Division Museum.

Hi guys, found these interesting picture of a group of awards donated to the 45th Infantry Division Museum, in Oklahoma City.

I've been trying find out anything more about it, but still no luck.

Anybody ever been there?

Little closer..

Looks to be a Juncker.

I can't tell, but it's not a Juncker loop for sure. Tom

Agree. May be completely put together. Is this a recent exhibit? The term "Knights Cross" (instead of "Knight's Cross") came into general usage through Dietrich Maerz.

When I made a visit to this museum in 2003 the display looked the same; including the title cards. At that time I had the impression the display had been in place for some time. The TR display is a only a small part of a larger, well staged museum in tribute to the Division. I recall that the KC was stunning.

Interesting.

In the first photo on the left above the cased SS service medal is that a SS Tuxedo skull and motto w/rzm tag

"Nazi Insignia" - Very historically accurate.

Looks to be a Juncker.

Or a Zimmermann?

I can also well imagine that there are plenty of fakes there! The SS "Meine Ehre heisst Treue" clasp for instance.

I live a couple of miles from the museum and will try to go by this weekend. I haven't been there in about 10 years but it's a pretty nice. Funny thing how you go out of your way to visit museums and attractions other cities but sometimes forget what's in your own backyard! I'm a bit skeptical that it's authentic though as the nicer things in some of the museums around here have had a way of ending up missing.

I am posting these pictures for my friend "Gewitter". The cross seems to be an S&L, but I can't make out whether it is an A- or B-Type.

Another two.
