Special RKT photo database : appr. 200 unknown !?

[Anil]

Hello Gentlemen,

Maybe this is ridiculous question. But is it possible to collect picture of all 7318 RK holders? I collected 1000 RK Holder pictures from web, books and other sources. Only 14%.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Anil


Announcement / 5 Nov 2009

This is a project to find and to gather photographs of the Knight’s Cross Holders listed below.

According to the statements of long-time collectors and experienced researchers never ever a photo of these men was published or became known. Sometimes a low-quality newspaper pic is available only.

So, do you have a photograph of one of these men you would like to share with the community ? Do you know a person who might be of assistance to locate a photo ? Do you know a location worldwide where someone could start to do a further research resulting in a find of a photo ?

This request goes to the AHF members and the worldwide guests of this forum.

If you need technical assistance how to attach a photo say so in a posting here or send me a PM.

Thanks in advance for your contributions !

its a good question

unfort there is a list with more than 200 names
where never ever a picture was seen........

if you would get e.g. photos of

Justus Jürgenssen
Rudi Reineck
Franz Zenker
Leopold Krugner
Jan Syrowy
and
and ...

you would be the hero

[Alter.Sammler]

...

Bruno Walden

It's a good idea for me. if you want,where known,we can also add the action that made them deserve the decoration.
I think it's a hard hard work and crazy...but I like that kind of works!

Do you have the complete list of those 200 Ritterkreuzträger without any identification photos, Chris?

Hello Anil, and all,

take a look on your starting post, please. Take a look also on the : Knight's Cross Holders Photo Database

The start is done. Fingers crossed.
