As always: comments welcome!

Kind regards, Peter

Hallo peterm, haben sie den WP noch in ihren Besitz? Ich habe vor wenigen Tagen das Eiserne Kreuz 1. Klasse und die dazugeörige Urkunde dieses Soldaten erworben und bin zufällig auf ihre Einträge gestossen. Die Verleihung erfolgte im Juli 1942 in der 3. leichten Flakabteilung 99. Finden sie dazu irgendwelche Einträge im WP.
