-Here is the aerial recognosaince photos, General. It clearly shows a group of tanks from the 2nd Panzer division, should we abort?
-No, no, rubbish! Those are probably broken or left there for some reason! proceed as planned.
note: I saw a photo of Willi Bittrich(commander of the 2nd Waffen-SS Panzerdivision) having dinner with another general in the 1960's and he was still wearing his Knight's cross! :D

I gather you and I share the same odd fascination for German WW2 military (not the death camps, of course), I just read that he also received the Knights Cross, which is somewhat more difficult to get, to say the least, only some 7000 was awarded compared to the several million Iron Crosses. If I'd been awarded one of these, I'd wear it till the day I died. :D
