Just finished an little book by Fred A. Simon.
An Berliner who describes his life.

This Wehrmacht Veteran finally makes it back to Berlin in 1946 and looks for his former
boss Herr Auer....he does find him moved now to Bendler Strasse 14, the OKW Building, the
headquarters of the top command of the Germany Army. He found an large office with walk-in
vaults.
there were shelves along the walls, and drawers covered and filled with German medals:
Iron Cross Second Class, Iron Cross First Class, Knight Crosses, with swords and diamonds. Also,
there were lots of documents; all you would have to do is write your name on one of the to issue
yourself an medal; they were already signed.
whenever I see these for sale I have always wondered...

Just had to put it out there for those that collect.
