[johan]

I was lucky to get this unusual group of an an extremely rare decoration. The family is still looking for the medal and threw the case away!

there is much more to come as there are two albums and lots of photos and other documents!

Hi i hope you get the cross , i just talked to my uncle and he told me that when he grew up in germany after the war the had every thing in medals to play with crosses daggers uniforms you name it from his family and from his friends so i hope they find it becouse he said they played hard with their "toys".

Remigius Hellenthal on Youtube

I wanted to re-spark this thread on Reichsbahner Remigius Hellenthal.

There is footage of the presentation of his Knights Cross of the War Merit Cross with Swords on Youtube. The link is as follows:

If the link doesn't work, simply look up Youtube and enter:

Die Deutsche Wochenschau Nr. 693, Dez-1943, 1/2

It begins by talking about the Reichsbahn in the East and has Herr Hellenthal's award presentation starting at minute 2:35. He is "first up"

Nice footage of the Reichsbahn personnel!

Somehow I missed this thread on the first go-around, especially since I am a Reichsbahn buff. Congrats on the most historically-significant DRB find of the decade--I, like everyone else, hope you do find the KVK, and await additional pictures.

Thanks for sharing--
