    Ernst Barkmann Died June 26 2009

    Not sure if I should post this here or on the "achtung panzer" forum.

    I saw on wikipedia that Ernst Barkmann has died on june 26th of 2009, just two months from his 90th birthday.

    When I tried a search here on the forum, I didn't see anything relating to his recent death.

    Is this sad news true ? Has anyone heard more about it ?
    The latest isue of Das Ritterkreuz isn't published yet, normally they publish the official announcement of the death of a KC bearer .

    I met him on several occasions and I always enjoyed talking with him.
    Another historic soldier has been called back to the big army.

    I never got in touch with him. How I regret that.

          Apparently, since the ribbons left by veterans groups at his grave were stolen the same day as the funeral. I'm sure they'll appear in a classified or dealer site as similar ones often do.

              Stealing from a grave is a really sick thing to do - some people would sell their own mother for a profit.

              I hope he rests in peace.

                              Little by little, this war goes into "dead history". Soon there will be noone to tell his own experience. Rest in Peace!
