Re: Awards ceremony info (oakleaves for Waffen-SS)
It´s commonly known that Hitler wanted to award all officers when they got their Oakleavs personally, but how long that lasted and how far on during the war is unknown to me, but I suppose that at least the men who got Oakleavs before 1945 got the personally from Hitler.
