Interesting Photo of Young EK Recipient

[bigmacglenn]

I came across this photo yesterday and thought I'd share...
He's one of the youngest ones I've seen uniformed w/EK...
Pretty sure it's Willi Huebner, who assisted in the defense of Lauban.
cheers, Glenn

Very cool Glenn. I like the color, adds to the reality of the situation.

Great link, Nick! Thanks for the added info! I've always had an interest in the stories of these child-soldiers...

A good photo, yes. By the way: Notice that his tunic is a pre-war model Waffenrock dress tunic converted for field wear during the war years.

A good photo and link. Pity that the videos there have been blocked ( for copyright reasons ... )

It sure does look like Will Heubner. This link is a still shot of Dr. Goebbels shaking Will's hand

Thanks for sharing Glenn. Indeed it's a pity that the videos have been pulled.
