Re: Information about Awards
In addition to the widely circulated magazines for the whole Luftwaffe such as Der Adler, there were magazines published by each Fliegerdivision, more specialist magazines such as Seeflieger and very many regional and local newspapers that covered the giving of awards. I have documents to a pilot who won the RK and who was a pharmacist before the war; even the pharmaceutical magazine ran an article on his award. The promotion of soldiers' brave deeds was literally everywhere!
