    Oakleaves

    Hi!

    How many Eichenlaubträgers are there, that is not among those 882 official? I have seen pictures of Oakleaves winners, that are only Knights Cross winners in official records. An example is Kurt Veth. I got a picture of him with oakleaves on.

    Best regards

        I did not have Herbert Dropmann in my list. All I know is that he was awarded 9 Tank Destruction Badges (!) as well as the RK on 12/07/44. Will have a look in BiblioVerlag's books this evening and keep u informed next monday.
