    That is very sad news about Arthur Juttner and Carl August Landfermann! :( May they rest in peace.

    Knightmove, according to Artur Becker-Neetz there are at this time approx 10% of the 7361 knights cross recipients still alive, he told me in one of his letters to me.

    Regards
    Phil

    Thanks for that Phil, I had figured it was much lower but around 700++ sounds much much better.

    I think it's more, I've read that 1351 knight's cross holders don't have a date of death, while this doesn't mean they are all alive it could give a clue about it.

    in case it helps, my grandfather on my mothers side was: Hauptmann
    Radtke, Werner
    he was one of the last to be awarded and he was never seen again, königsberg was eventually overrun and we always assumed he was killed in a captivity long march or bodily destroyed in that final outpost of german defense.

    Arminius.
