No mate they are still with the family they'll never let them go his son was a Officer in the Bundeswehr !!

I thought so but i wanted to ask anyway
I knew there was a fat chance his son would keep them as he is in army too.

Helmut also became an Oberst in the Bundeswehr so they are a family of Soldaten !!

Thanks Adam! Yeah, this one was definitely the largest project I have done so far. So many faces/uniforms/caps/boots/etc to colorize! haha I am glad you like it, and let me know if I need to change any colors. It was hard to find an example of a Grenadiers uniform to go off of.
I did this one in 3 different sessions, as I saw myself getting sloppy after a little while at it. haha

Bill that is a superb job many thanks, i'll send a copy to his son !! When i met him he had grey hair and i can't remember his eye colour !!! Certainly the hair colour is right ! He won a PVA in Itlay in 1944 when he knocked out a Sherman with a Panzerfaust.

Man, I would love to look into him a bit more. But it was tough to even find much about him online unfortunately. His awards are just incredible. Sounds like he actually truly earned them as a soldier as well.
Sorry to ask another question, but Do you happen to know what his rank was when he took out the Sherman? I tried to look it up, but was unsuccesful. Seems he was part of almost every battle/campaign in the whole war. Pretty amazing he survived. One tough man!
Its nice to hear that you are still in contact with his son too.

Hi Paul,

It's fantastic that he managed to hang onto his awards at the end of the war when most soldats had them 'liberated'.
