Here is my (only) RK published on the frontpage of the "Military Advisor" at the time the facts concerning the L/12 KC was published by Gordon Williamson, it was breaking news back then when the differences between repro and original Juncker KC was discovered and published.

The RK was originally awarded to Rolf Johannesson of the Kriegsmarine in 1942 when he was the commander of the destroyer "Hermes" in the Mediterranean - the only major German surface ship to operate in the Med during WW2, he ended the war as Viceadmiral and was later one of the high ranking officers to start in the new Bundesmarine under Nato where he served until the 1960s.
