Knights Cross Recipients Who Are Still Living

[Annelie]

Well, he wasn't that well and considering his age he did fairly well
but he will be missed. He always seemed to be helpful and of course
gave his autograph to all those that asked.

Another person of history gone. I think he is the last of people
who knew Hitler personally?

Yes the last survivor from the bunker.
I searched in google and found nothing.
If your info is correct then RIP Herr Misch.

I have just received information that today died Rochus Misch.... :-(
R.I.P.

I get the same information. And now the date of his death is in Wikipedia.

I'm glad I once wrote to Herr Misch. He will be missed.
RIP

You know, I had a weird experience with that too. I sent him a few photos to sign late 2011, and he returned only one of them, and attached a note saying "please consider the cost of medication for people my age. I charge 3.5 euro per signature" or something like this (I am paraphrasing). I had sent him the standard 5 Euros that I send all veterans when asking for signed pictures, and he sent this reply back, so I sent Herr Bob another 5 euros. (I find that 5 euros always covers the postage costs with a little extra left.)
 
He is the only one that said something like that. They usually either sign and return or don't reply at all. 
 
So, maybe you should send more money? I was happy to once he had asked me, I just didn't realized he needed more! But of course it's understandable given the amount of requests he must get, and the increasing difficulty given his age 

Hope you are kidding? Have you considered how much postage costs. Never mind his time and effort? Look on ebay and see how much signatures are going for. IF anyone does want to send any money
anything under 20 or 25 euros would almost be bad manners.

Terrible news indeed!
He was a genteman and very friendly to collectors and researchers.
May he rest in peace!
Horrido!
