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.

Best regards

For example Wisliceny and Weidinger received OL from Sepp Dietrich (from Weidinger's words) and Albrecht Krugel received OL from RFSS (i have photo)

The photo you have, it`s the same than the one in the book of Max Williams `Heinrich Himmler`?
