Dear Morris, Thank you for answer. Than Mr. Franz Schmid was last recipient of CCC in Gold(he passed away after Mr. Karl Radermacher, same month).
By the way, I received reply from Mr. Johann Trummer's son, Mr. Wolfgang Trummer. That Mr. Johann Trummer has problems with seeing and writing. I thinks (with out seeing and writhing) his health his not bad in now. A happy feature of a misfortune. I'll talking about his health with his son.
And Korean war Medal of Honor recipient, Mr. Duane E. Dewey has lost eyesight and memories. (Heard it from his family through reply. received it today too.)
p.s. Did anyone can help me to check Mr. Karl Ludwig Barths address? Thx, Han
Hi gents, I am moving soon for work and i am having to condense the collection a bit. I am offering to you guys here first because some of us did not get the change to write to some of these men.
No way near dealers prices so looking to gives these away at "mates rates"or collector value for my friends here on the forum.
Gentlemen, can I suggest something?
I want all of us writing a letter of appreciation and encouragement to Mr. Johann Trummer.
As I wrote here in before, Mr. Trummer had problem and now he lost his eyesight. But even he lost his eyesight (as I think) he still want to signing, like Mr. Gerhard Krems did. What a thoughtful and nice man!
I didn't want just leave him alone in darkness. He demonstrated a kindness and concern for us until he had problem. Actually what I said even now.
For that reason I want all of us writing a letter of appreciation and encouragement to Mr. Johann Trummer, without ask a autograph or question. I believe "let him peace" isn't mean let him leave alone without expression of gratitude. I just want let him know we didn't forgot him and feel gratitude to him.
Thanks for reading.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Mr Barths lives in a senior residence and he only gives autographs to his book "Jungmann".

Hello Paul, of course I didn't mean bother him. He need some rest. But I mean just show some appreciation and encouragement to him.
As i said without some ask or reply. Just write one sentence to let them know they don't need write reply to us.
Yes I know that he only gives autographs on his book. If he is still in good condition, I want to ask it but I'm not sure I have right address of him.
Reply from Mr. Halm

Very nice and one of kindest man!
First page of his book. I guess he cut original page for autograph. That photo is attached in page.
p.s. Can anyone help me to transcribe(not translation, just script) his letter? I can't lead handwriting.
