GdR magazines, full set for 1958.......

[oradour]

Gents, I have added to my OdRcollection a full set of the magazine "Das Ritterkreuz" for the year 1958.
The GdR the "Gemeinschaft der Ritterkreuztrager" is the early name used by the association of Knights Cross holders in the 1950's...
They later changed there name to the OdR "Ordensgemeinschaft der Ritterkrueztrager e.V." the name in use today....these are monthly magazines for the attention of members.
They are smaller than the later magazines issued by the OdR............
In the January 1958 edition, there is a loose flyer showing EK awards.....I do not know if this is for the information of members or a firms teaser promo........notice the RK illustrated is a Schickle !
Prost ! Steve.

I do not think they have the membership numbers these days Nick, and RKT numbers are dwindling fast !
Prost ! Steve.
