Dear Philmil,

I have to correct a mistake:
Prof. Kreuz is the only General of the Wehrmacht with
"Ritterkreuz des Kriegsverdienstkreuzes OHNE Schwerter".

In the new Volume of "Die Generale des Heeres, Kn - L" you will see his picture with his neck-order.

Now the new book

"Die Generale des Heeres 1921 - 1945", Vol. 7, "Knabe - Luz", Biblio-Verlag Bissendorf, 2004. 675 pages

is available

There is the pic of Prof. Lothar Kreuz out of this book with
KC War Merit Cross without swords

(see the sticky: "Ritterkreuz des Kriegsverdienstkreuzes")
and possibly behind him the famous actor Heinz Rühmann ?
