    Default Official PK photo of RKT Franz Greck.

    Just got this one in. Official propaganda photo of RKT Franz Greck by war correspondent Lechner. Official caption and stamps on reverse. The lower slip of paper with his unit and duty position was attached by the late author Michael Pruett as this came out of his estate.

    The caption, with a typo in his name, describes how the 23 year-old Oberfeldwebel earned the Knight's Cross by defending an important bridge for three days with only 20 soldiers against two Red Army ("Bolshevik") battalions. RK awarded 5 February 1945.

    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
