| ritterkreutz Only one chap got them all and that was Rudel. The award was the oak leaves,swords and diamonds IN GOLD, and there were only 12 to be awarded. Hitler's plan was that when Germany had won, there would be 12 holders of the award, a sort of super elite of all the holders of the diamonds. Rudel was the first and then the war ended so he was the only one. |
