Thanks Andrew , Heder is a well known member of the OdR and generally if a member dies it is quickly put out by the OdR , have heard nothing about Eberhard so hopefully he is still fine .

Plus i know he is very friendly with John Moore and John hasn't posted anything re him.

regards

Paul

I recieved a reply fom Eberhard Heder yesterday he is doing fine.

Oh guys!

I did a search on the Internet but on none of the sites I checked his date of death was listed...
so I presumed he was still alive....

My sincere apologies for my rashness...

Hello
Im trying to find out if Helmut Buch of Totenkopf is still with us.
He does not have the KC but he does have the Close Conbat Clasp in Gold.

FYI: Just did an update on the list. Been busy so I have not had much free time. The only name I unfortunately had to remove was Emil Berner, may he rest in peace.

I was however missing some of the other names of those who passed. Since this is a collective work in progress please feel free to let me know if you are aware of any other KC winners who are still alive.

Hi Bjorn,

Julius Meimberg (Luftwaffe Fighter Pilot 53 victories) is alive and a long awaited response to a letter date mid 2007. He has responded to more than one request as I have had a couple others indicate a positive response as of late. I believe he has a book out and a web site that you could visit is www.feindberuehrung.de
