Re: New Photo Pick-Ups - Please Share
This is an interesting one Bill as the Kessel wasn't closed until 19th November 1942 and in September 42 , 23 Panzer Division was fighting in the Terek area of the North Caucusus i believe so in wonder how he has ended up being buried at Rossochka ??

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Paul, Im completely stuck on this one.
I have 23 panzer division in the Terek River/Prochlany area as late As August 29, so you are correct. And of course youre right about the Kessel lol..... thats what happens when I'm reading/researching too much.....all logic goes out the window sometimes! haha
So, the info I was reading was obviously a couple months later after the closing of the Kessel, but i cannot figure out why his body would be in this area at that time. Unless they transported it, but that seems a bit absurd for the times. The only other explanation is that the date on the cross is incorrect??
Brad, welcome and thanks for sharing!
