kegan32 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) This is the personal Army Dagger of Major Georg Briel who was a commander of an Afrika Korps unit under Field Marshal Rommel. Decorations shown are not his, just a set up of the ones he was awarded. If anyone has any documents or items that belonged to Maj Briel, would like to hear from them. Looking for a personal picture with autograph. Edited July 19, 2019 by kegan32 mispelled word 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegan32 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Thanks Desert Rat. Now all I need is a personalized photo autograph and also some of his original documents. From what I learned several years ago, all his awards, etc were broken up and sold individually. Like looking for a needle in a haystack I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
