The Kaiser's men’s medals

[VtwinVince]

Excellent look at the Stalingrad debacle. I was under the impression that Seydlitz was a descendant of the 18th century cavalry general. As an aside, a good friend of mine had Edler von Daniels as a family friend, and when he went to Germany after he died in the 1980's, he found to his horror that the widow of Daniels had thrown away all his military relics. My friend only managed to save one photo.

Thanks for commenting, Vince.
The anecdote about your friend, discovering that von Daniels' widow had gotten rid of his military memorabilia.... I think it is the nightmare of every collector and fan of military history!
