Re: How do I do this?
Thanks Paul.....
My guy has a different award date.... I really need to find out more info .. I am doing a nice framed display and would like as much info as possible... any ideas of where I could look?
Re: How do I do this?
WOW I had to double check this thread... I have a Luftwaffe Mess Dress which was worn by a Captain Carl Schmitts who was also a German Cross holder. Imagine if it said Karl Schmidt!
Thanks, Glen.
