Thanks for the names. I have added them to the 1st page list. Also did some other updates as well.

It's been too many long years since I last tasted German food and had some good bier.

Don´t know if anyone else has, but I recently got a very nice handwritten(!!) letter by Otto Carius who was so kind to answer me some questions about his numbered PAB awards. He even included a signed autograph. Great guy I can say for sure now.

Yes, Otto is one of those who will take time to respond back. He also wrote a book, "Tigers in the Mud"

I have had the pleasure of hearing from a few RKT and I must say that they have always been very gracious.

Thanks, I will update. That is the problem when dealing with multiple resources, it's hard to keep track. Although there are some great references out there, not everything is always updated. I appreciate the input and will make the changes.
