The Great cover image caught my eye

Nice item.
One of the many newspapers printed at unit level and so rather obscure.
Cheers, Ade.

It says "Frontzeitung einer Panzergruppe", i.e. "Front Paper of a Panzer Group"; the formation's actual designation apparently not given for security reasons.
Dünaburg, where it was published, is the German name for Daugavpils in Latvia.
The mounted man leading the way for the tank is, of course, the famous Field Marshal Blücher (or his ghost?) himself.
nice find.
Great info!!! So that is what Blutcher refers too-!! I Did not know of him- Thought it translated to-( The boot) l Also I originally thought the tank was chasing a Russian LOL
Here is my history lesson for today from the web thanks to HPL
Along with Paul von Hindenburg, he was the highest-decorated Prussian-German soldier in history: they are the only officers to have been awarded the Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross.
Added some more clips if anyone is interested. its only 4 pages.
Thanks for the translation !!
