And final one.

Another funeral to ID.

(It's not Adolf Hühnlein's service)

This is rather curious: the funeral pillow of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath.

There's only one medal on the cushion and the rest is personal gear from the SA.

The funeral was held in 1938.

Amazing...Von Ribbentropp on the left....this kill becomes the "Kristallnacht"...
