Hi Stuka f




Perhaps, I haven't decided yet if I would go this year. I went three years in a row without buying anything of value.

I'll let you know...

Thanks for that Nick, it all makes sense now, are those awards rare?? i susspect there were not many with 2 awards, very dangerous.


Rick

It is THE medal that speaks the most to the imagination to me.
Pretty rare award it is, yes.
There are some pictures with a guy having a sleeve to short to put them all on.

Stuka yes i got the pm chin up and hope you get out asap.

Cheers

Rick many of these awards were handed out and some men won quite large numbers the silver was for 1 and the gold was for 5 , some guys won golds and then more silvers !!

Knights Cross winners Oberleutnant Gunther Viezenz had 21 kills , Friedrich Anding 18 kills, many frontline combat soldiers had 4 or 5.

The tank kill had to be made in close combat either with grenades , magnetic mines , Hafthohladung or panzerfaust , the award wasn't for Anti Tank gunners

I agree Stuka, it stirs up the imagination all right... a conversation peice for sure, glad your bailing out tomorrow, take it easy tho.

Thanks for the info Paul, interesting reading indeed, to achieve that many tank kills at close quater would take nerves of steel, so a well deserved award.
