Any idea where Leon Degrelle's decorations are located? Specifically his Close Combat Clasp(s) and Knights Cross.

Presumably are in hands of some of his four daughters, if they are still alive.
Son Léon Marie Degrelle, died in a motorcycle accident 1958
Anne Degrelle de Balaguer, was very close to her father living and getting married in Spain ( Constantina, Sevilla )
Léon Degrelle was a very dear person in Spain, in spite of his political ideas and militancy
There is no information about Degrelle's awards have been sold at any auction yet
