      Bittrich's diary, photos, awards, etc were stolen before he was even buried.

        Very sad to hear that more RKT's passed away .
        may they rest in peace

          That is disgraceful!! Some people have no shame not to mention respect.

            Such people are pathetic and sad, no respect or shame at all. I know from other cases that one day after a veteran died, people came at the door and said: "he promised me this or that"... Sad!

            Can anyone confirm that Rudolf von Ribbentrop is still alive and whether he is good of health?

              Mr. von Ribbentrop is still alive. As far as I know he is in a good health.

                They're all VERY old and are tired of the same questions, and especially pests wanting their items, etc

                All are aware how collectors swarm on families after they die, thefts, and other garbage. Funeral ribbons are stolen from graves the day of the funeral, saw at least 2 here for sale over the years. Dirt bags.

                I've known hundreds of SS KC holders, all of whom considered collectors (other than a personal signed photo) irritating and clueless of actual history knowledge.

                Especially the idiots who ask what RZM number their buttons were or similar garbage they couldn't care less about.
                Mark, I could not agree with you more. I was once an avid writer for signed photos from RK-traeger. But after having met several of them and talking about the huge volume of autograph requests they received, I decided to quit and let them live in peace. I still collect autographs and signed photos, but just what I can buy from dealers. Besides, most of the recipients are now dead.

                  I never asked for photos, just having questions for my book research. Though all now gone I was close with (all SS) many asked every time we met if I had something to sign. And found many never signed a larger format image (I had made) so sort of had to be instructed where (the border).

                            Has anyone here had contact with Wieselhuber?

                              Hi

                              if Wieselhuber is still alive,he now refuses to talk about this period of his life.

                              My last contact with him is in 2008

                              Phil.

                                In april 45 Südel was posted as observer to the headquarters of I./KG 55. Does anyone knows details of his RK action?
