Holy Dingle Dangle.
. That's the stuff of which dreams are made as the poet said. Any idea where the crosses are?
Excellent score friend
Interested in candid/private Hitler, KIA, and Holocaust photos. Also any AH related memorabilia--silverware, linen, crystal, china...
All the best,

answers and the photo album
nothing else from the winners. bretnutzs family has the cross and some of his other decorations in his hometown, there is good info on him (thanks brendan). not sure about freitag, not much available. vet was in the 5th army, intelligence services (i will get his unit info). the docs are both ink signed by adolf...
