What about Major Eitel Goll and Leutnant Robert Gast?
No date of death are reported on www.das-ritterkreuz.de....even if I believe that they're no longer with us because they are not on the list and because is hard for their age (Eitel born 1910 and Gast born 1920) someone could confirm that?
Thanks

An update from wehrmacht awards forum:

Wolfgang SCHENCK ( Luftwaffe )

*7.02.1913
+5.03.2010

Ritterkreuz:14.08.1941
Eichenlaub:30.10.1942

They also say that there must be about 25 Eichenlaubträger still alive as now.


And...what about Feldwebel Plickat and Obergefreiter Sachs from Grossdeutschland?

Unfortunately, three more to add:

- Dr. Eberhard Zahn = 07.02.2010 (101 years!!!)
- Franz Schmid = 15.02.2010
- Kuno von Meyer = 25.01.2010

May they all rest in peace.

I've never seen a pic of Franz Schmid. Does anybody have one to share?

Good Morning!I
add just few names of RK-Träger who maybe could be still alive,because I found no date of death.
Maybe we could make the list of living RK-Träger longer...

Oberfeldwebel Johann Rodamer
Unteroffizier Johann Eggers
Feldwebel Fritz Plickat (GD)
Obergefreiter Hans Sachs
Oberleutnant Claus Pieper (born 1911,very hard!)

Thank you,so we could add at least Sachs.
I suggest one other name: Hauptscharfuhrer Gerhard Grebarsche. His d.o.b. is 15.2.1913 but I found no d.o.d.
