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

Re: Otto Funk - 12th SS
There are a number of photos that have really had an effect on me over the years - wondering what happened to the subjects of those photos. Funk's photo is one of those. With only about 300 of the 12th SS surviving the Normandy battle, I had always assumed that he had perished. What horrors he must have experienced. I know what the Normandy and Brittany campaigns did to my Uncle, who survived, but who, as my Aunt said shortly before he passed in 2009, was never the same. R.I.P. Heer Funk.

Re: Otto Funk - 12th SS
The picture is haunting, Heer Funk exhibits what US combat vets often describe as "the 1000 yard stare".
Re: Otto Funk - 12th SS
First time in combat for the 15 Kompanie and certainly shows in their faces !!
