Description
Rare doucment grouping to the Spanish Civil War and WW2 veteran Oberfeldwebel Robert Finselberger. Pinselberger served on "Kreuzer Köln", "Kreuzer Blücher" as well as on the famous battle ship "Tirpitz". This grouping is probably the only one on the market like that. A simply Oberfeldwebel who served on two capital ships that were both sunk in Norway being awarded with the Iron Cross 1st Class on the Tirpitz! A very very rare grouping and a must have for every Norway Campaign collector!
