Re: Major Helmut Kösler (Kößler?), died on 8 August 1944

Guys

Obermaier says it was posthumous, but I guess this was only because the actual anouncement came possibly after his death. The decision about the award must have been taken in advance of the actual issuance date and I would not consider such an award posthumous...

What WAS posthumous though was his promotion to Ofw.

Cheers
Stig
