    I have well over 300 signed photos of Knights Cross earners from the Luftwaffe and U-boat service in my collection so far.

    I have only two panzer guys, Carius and Barkmann and one paratrooper, Von der Hydte

    I am going to go scan some more of them and post them here very soon.

    thanks guys

    [pet peeve]One doesn't not "win" a medal. One "earns" a medal. With the obvious exception of the Purple Heart, of course. [/pet peeve]

    I have never seen a "pet peeve" but I have a pet dog and he is a German Shorthair that is a super hunter, and he has won some medals too
