I am thinking its a good guess! LOL. I am happy with it as is! I am going to do some research and see where Udo wound up. It would be really nice to get a picture of him or like my wife stated just take any old picture with a german soldier and put Udo Pranter on the bottom....LOL......Just kidding of course!!

Late war DKiG were also being awarded on all fronts , it is a complete guess i'm afraid which doesn't unfortunately clear up whether Panter is a DKiG winner or not !!

How would I go about researching him as a soldier? I know the link to Berlin research, but that could take up to 12 months.........any thoughts??
Thanks,

Maybe through the NARA would be your best alternative !! Have checked and he wasn't a RK Winner either !!
