Hi, I am trying to find the addresses of some recipients of the Knights Cross with Oakleaves and Swords as I would really like to write to some as there aren't too many left. I was hoping someone could let me know what the address of Carl Thieme is and if he still replies to letters or corraspondence. Here's some info on him! Carl Thieme DoB: 28.05.1914 RK: 30.10.1943 as Hauptmann of I./PzGrenRgt 110. Eichenlaub (627): 23.10.1944 as Major of PzGrenRgt 111. Schwerter (156): 09.05.1945 as Oberstleutnant of PzGrenRgt 110. Thanks for your help Phil
Also I am looking for help contacting Ernst-Wilhelm Reinert. DoB: 02.02.1919 RK: 01.07.1942 as Unteroffizier in 4./JG 77. Eichenlaub (131): 06.10.1942 as Feldwebel in 4./JG 77. Schwerter (130): 01.02.1945 as Oberleutnant in 14./JG 27 Also does anyone know if Hermann Eckhardt still replies to letters as I have his address although I'm not sure if he will reply to me if I wrote to him! Hermann Eckhardt DoB: 04.01.1920 RK: 28.03.1945 as Feldwebel in 1./PzAbt 8 Thanks Phil
Reinert....... RK on July 1, 1942 and EL on October 6, 42 as # 131, Swords on January 30, 45 as # 130 as a Oberlt. End of 1944 his kill standings were at 174 and he became gruppenkommandeur of IV./JG 27 on January 2, 1945 flying the Bf 109G-14 and G-10. On March 23, 1945 he was transferred into ME 262 equipped JG 7 but am not sure if he flew the jet or not. 715 missions, 60 ground attack where he destroyed 16 a/c and 10 tanks and 6 loco's. 174 kills with 71 of these in the west, 51 in north Afrika nd 2 bombers
Thanks for the info Erich, I'm not sure why the info I have is different to yours as I got it from Das-ritterkreuz. 132 against western forces thats impressive Regards Phil
