Re: Awards (OL, Sw. & Diam.) personally bestowed by Hitler
An Official Press Photo of SS-Standartenführer Fritz Witt Receiving the Oak Leaves from A.H., measuring 175x235mm, near extremely fine condition with intermittent discolouration, slightly warped. It shows SS-Standartenführer Fritz Witt receiving the Oak Leaves from A.H. This official press photo was taken in the Führerhauptquartier Vinnytsia (Ukraine) on March 1, 1943. The Oak Leaves were awarded to Witt in recognition of his leadership role in the Third Battle of Kharkov (February 19 - March 15, 1943). After the ceremony, Witt went straight back to the still ongoing battle

Re: Awards (OL, Sw. & Diam.) personally bestowed by Hitler
In the book `Elite of the Third Reich`by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel
He write : 4 awards were made of the Oak Leaves by General der Fallschirmtruppe Heidrich.
I try to find the name of these 4 recipients.
