want to see his helmet? how do I post a photo here?

[John Toner]

Nice photos. Is he being awarded the Knights Cross in the first one or is his commanding officer just admiring it? Usually such an award would be made by a much higher ranking officer.

Super photos . I had contact with Rudolf in the late 1980's and he was a gentleman . I would love to know who the SS Hauptsturmfuhrer is ?
