Hi Phil,

Thank you for the answer.

In as much it's possible I would like to find it out the already deceased's mortality place and his date.

With thanks:
László

Hey y'all,

Unfortunately, I believe Herr Buck died in 1997.

Well whose been writing all his letters and signing all his photos since then ??

[Nidhøggr]

Well whose been writing all his letters and signing all his photos since then ??

I guess his source is Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Buck

Friedrich Buck (30 January 1922 – 1997) was a Oberscharführer (Staff Sergeant) in the Waffen SS during World War II. He was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Which was awarded to recognize extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership by Nazi Germany during World War II. He was also one of only 631 men to be awarded the very rare Close Combat Clasp in Gold for 50 days hand to hand combat.[1]

Friedrich Buck was awarded the Knight's Cross on the 27 January 1945 as commander of the 5th Squadron, 15th SS Cavalry Regiment, 8th SS Cavalry Division Florian Geyer. [2] [3]

[Herr Fritzkopf]

Wikipedia is indeed a bad source .

is there by the way anyone who can provide a decent picture of Herr Buck without signature ?

[Paul E]

Only ever seen the photo that Friedrich sends out with his signature on i'm afraid,

regards

Paul

[Herr Fritzkopf]

well, because i'm interested in writing to Herr Buck, and mostly i try to supply a reprint picture myself when i write RKT's .

[Paul E]

As far as i am aware Friedrich Buck no longer replies due to old age and ill health,

regards

Paul

I visited today Major Paul Zorner.
Fortunately, Mr. Zorn is in a good state of health.
He was very funny, has made a few jokes and was delighted with our visit.
He is now 91 years old. I hope he's as healthy for a long time.

[mdj]

Richard,

Very nice to see those veteran meetings, as always, but may I attend you on the fact that someone on this forum or someone who reads this forum dont like pictures of KC holders to be posted.

PM for further information please.

I oversaw this very sad news.

Oh noooooooooooo........one of my first KC contacts. And what a life he had (as soldier, KC holder, succesfull Business man in postwar time etc......).

Truly a hero for me.

RIP Herr Eberspaecher. "Ehre seinem Andenken....."
