Virtuti Militari at the Ukrainian auction is simply a fake. IPN provided fresh information

Order Virtuti Militari with number 3353 exhibited on the Ukrainian auction portal is simply a forgery - said Polsat News spokesperson of the Institute of National Memory Dr. Rafał Kościński. The highest military honour received by Captain Julius Roman Heinzel remains in the hands of the family. Previously, the illegal origin of the souvenir was suggested by Confederate associate Konrad Berkowicz.
