Cheers, Ade.

Yes, wearing that Soviet helmet was not a good idea..... Nice photo which shows the later model 30m Panzerfaust too.

Fantastic! I can see some of these framed in my war room!
Forgot to come back and post this until now !!
The EK award photo is of SS-Gren Klaus Schuh, a MG gunner in SS Hauptscharfuihrer Wilhelm Boigk's Zug. He is also known for the same photos that include Otto Funk and for the above photo where he' s shown as being decorated with the EK II together with SS-Gren. Sepp Bund.
Both Schuh and Bund both were killed in action on 26 June near Cheux, and the same day Otto Funk was wounded.

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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
