[Phil_C]

Hi,

Latley I have been writing to many RKT's as the RK is an area that interests me and I would never be able to afford on so I like to write to the men who won them particualy waffen SS, FJ winners and OL & OL/swords winners. I was hoping someone could tell me which of these RKT's are still alive and which aren't.

Still alive

Phil,

I am happy to inform you that Hauptsturmfuehrer Karl-Heinz Euling is still alive. I talked to him last year when we planned a runion of veterans at Arnheim. Unfortunately he could not come according to his state of health.
At least some veterans were there, including Obersturfuehrer Erwin Heck, former executive officer of the SS NCO school at Arnheim.
He gave me some certificates that were signed by general Harmel at post war reunions.
He will talk to him one of the next weeks. He refuses to get in touch with amateur historicans. But he has been very helpful to me - I am searching for one of his soldiers who was neither reported killed or missing in action and has never been on one of the PoW lists.
Hauptsturmfuehrer Euling is a very noble and decent man - probably one of the finest characters I have ever met! He is a man of few words, who has a clear and intelligent view of the way things are and I really admire him.

Marc

P.S.: If someone desires to talk this matter over with me, please send me an email.
