Also I think I see a German Cross . Does he look familiar to anyone? That would be awesome if this was Joachim Peiper!

Re: New Photo Pick-Ups - Please Share
Unfortunately it's not Peiper Dean !! He's wearing a Sturmartillerie wrap and looks like the DKiG but a bigger copy of the photo would be better !!

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
