Excellent and you now have the LG date for his MM award which should please your friend's family!.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Yes, just no idea as to why he received it! How incredibly frustrating.

The answer may not be there but have you looked through the war diary?
