Now, that is what you call a great gift! Most veterans I know, who still have some belongings after the war - in Holland quite unique, though - do not really care about the monetary value, but rather see it to be preserved in good hands. What do you mean with documenting the cufftitle?

It is just an idea, but you might buy some good books dealing with the history of "Das Reich" and the LSSAH, so that you can talk about certain events more in depth. Perhaps, in the end, it might lead to writing down his biography. I think that a lot of people will be interested in reading more about the things he witnessed.

Was he awarded the Ritterkreuz by Wilhelm Mohnke personally?
