Knights Cross Recipients Who Are Still Living

[Eelst]

Thank God, so it was only a false alarm.
Indeed,it was a bit strange to me that the passing away of a such known persons would pass unnoticed on websites like this.
Thank you both Julio and Don_kihotis7!

[Herr Fritzkopf]

Indeed, i freaked out, when i saw that e-mail!

Your welcome Eelst.
If i'm not mistaken though, Walter Schuck is not very well health wise. Someone recently wrote here that he has moved to a nursing home.
Member GSM know more about this.

Herr Carius signed this for me on the 27th of May, so i believe he is still fine.
Cheers

Yes, I got that information from 3 different sources:
1.) from his book publisher
2.) from his Swedes friend
3.) from his fellow German friend.

But that was last March 2012. I don't have the latest news about Walter now. So I wish that anybody could update his current health status....

Hi gentlemen, according to: http://www.das-ritterkreuz.de/index_...e&session=1316


Günter Glasner

* 26.8.1917 Drehnow
+ 22.6.2012 Berlin

RK on 31.12.1943 as Oberfeldwebel and Bordschütze Stab/KG 6


and

Friedrich Mahlmann

* 27.7.1914
+ 30.11.2009 Neustadt am Rübenberge

RK on 17.3.1944 as Leutnant der Reserve and Führer II./GrenRgt 587

but...the same site reports Mahlmann as dead on 20.8.1944 !!! So what's the truth?
