Knights Cross Recipients Who Are Still Living

[PerMilitaria]

Just received my yearly Christmas cards from Herr Ribbentrop,Herr Becker-Neetz and Heinz Steinmeyer, who was in the the Hitlerjugend and was captured at the battle of Caen by the British and sent to Camp 21, which is not far away from where i stay.

Herr Steinmeyer is not a RK Veteran. But still a true combat veteran who is a very nice man.
I wrote to him about two years ago and he sent me a reply with a very nice portrait of him.

My question started from that site.
Same name,surname and year of birth of the RK-Träger,but without being registered it's impossible to have more detailed informations.

Stolen / withheld awards

Gentlemen,
You might be surprised, but even German Army Commanders
like LTC Peters, former comander of FlaRgt 2 Kassel, now running a "war museum" happened to be one of these dubious individuals.
Pretending that he will use "donations" for "his" museum..
he never returned them.... sometimes even fakes !!
I myself have been cheated by this questionable person....
he still owes me
EK I cased (mint)
"Sieg der Kuehnsten" (Kreta 1941)
Shame on these people..forget their possible rank.... trash !!
Best regards
Wolf

Where is this war museum?

Does not exist anylonger, all was sold in 2007.

Sorry to hear about your loss to this person.
Perhaps he will read about this and will do
the right thing?
