Maybe Florian Berger's book about Ritterkreuzträger who received the Nahkampfspange in gold would help?

p/s on a personal note
i visited your town alkmarr back in 1971.
does it still hold that wonderful cheese market,
and have that wonderful tower ,
with the figures going round.
when the hour chimes sound.

Ritterkreuzträger mit Nahkampfspange in Gold by Florian Berger, costs €35 excl. shipping. For sale at Amazone, ebay, etc.

And yes, the Waagtoren is still here, so is the Cheesemarket (which I never visit, in fact, I live just outside the centre and can see the Waagtoren). ALkmaar isn't that small as it was in 1971. The city has grown... A lot of new houses, all ugly as hell. I love my house, it was built in 1940 .
