      Dietrich Witzel-Kirn was a Brandenburger, too.

        Yesterday I got a reply from Günther Halm. Halm got the KC in Africa by Erwin Rommel. He was very kind to send me two signed photos of two other KC winners; Waldemar von Gazen and Heinrich Köhler. I also got 3 magazines (das ritterkreuz).

          Lucky you! Köhler passed away last year...

          Mr. Halm is an always nice person.

                    Having known 100+ Waffen-SS KC holders, including 14 divisional commanders and 7 Swords holders, it is very sad to see them go and also how few are left.

                    The same with all valor holders of all countries in WWII, they're numbers especially dwindling in the past 10-15 years.

                      May they rest in peace

                        I was about to post the same thing... It's shocking how quickly one's life can come and go. Least he lived his to the fullest, it appears, so that's something else we can remember about him and smile about.
