Thanks a lot Lado! Both were awarded on the 14 of September 1942, so i am curious why inscription on the back is incorrect? Any thoughts on the inscriptions?

Excellent photos Evgeni. Awesome IDs Lado. Like you Evgeni, the other day I tried to ID them from the name/date on back, but no luck. Now it makes sense why!
Here is a pretty rare photo I recently acquired.....a Feldwebel from schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 88 (aka schwere Heeres-Panzerjäger-Abteilung 88)......who from my little info, was only issued with Nashorn (Hornisse)!! The photo is dated October 1944. I am having difficulties finding info on this interesting abteilung though, and Any help with translation would be very much appreciated!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
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
Thank you for the perfect translation and description Andreas! The only words I got out of it myself were Der and Jung! haha
Oh wow Paul, I don't even know any RKTs from the unit. Nor do I even have a list of commanders/officers etc just yet. Really tough outfit to find any type of info on. I did read about a Lt Beckmann who KO'd an IS-2 tank from 4600 meters in his nashorn though!! If true, that's nuts. Ive read that the Nashorn was originally intended for an anti-aircraft role, so it could be possible to reach long-range I would guess.
