In here you can see all the details about him and also the dates of when he was awarded all his medals etc. Karl Schubert This is a fine lot to the one man, unfortunately the medals were not with this lot when I acquired it a few years ago and are lost forever now. I have not had time as yet to do any research on Karl Schubert or on his unit 9./ Kampfgeschwader 3. Hopefully at some stage in the near future I will be able to delve into the history of this and his unit and add the information to this page. If anyone out there knows anything about the unit history please feel free to email me with the details. (damien@festungjerseymilitaria.com) |
