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

Just found out the Former SS Hauptscharfuhrer Ewald Ehm passed away about 3 weeks ago , here are a couple of my favourite photos of him.
The first one is of him and Heinz Macher after 16/ D had just forced a breach of the Anti tank ditch around Kharkov in March 1943 and the other shows an interesting placement of his first PVA .
RIP Ewald.

It is interesting that in this photos of Ehm that he had an assault boat pilots badge on his right sleeve.
RIP Herr Ehm

16 D were the Combat Engineer ( Pioniere ) Company of SS Panzer Gren Regt 3 and were trained on normal combat weopons by also demolition , flamethrowers and use of assault boats , Ehm was an expert in all of them but it is quite unusual to see the Steersman badge in wear.

Hi Han:
Thanks for the kind word
Mr. Lochmann do look very tough, he look like a movie stars or a Character from the Indiana Jones film.
Thanks for Paul explanation as well, actually they do write the text on the back of the photos, some of that are kind of hard to understand. will post some text and updated next time.
Have a good Sunday evening.
Best Regard
Joe
Hans Siptrott,
Tank Commander of PNZ IV Nmr 711 in the 7./SS-PzRgt.1 LSSAH/Kampfgruppe Peiper and a participant in the malmedy trial. In the trial it was determined that Georg Fleps (the loader of Hans siptrott) started shooting at the POW'S with his pistol.
Hans maintained that he never gave an order to shoot and actually kicked his loader to make him stop shooting. He was sentenced to death. Wich later chanched to life in prison. He was released in 1956
In reality the combat career of Siptrott should be looked at more than just his involvement in Malmedy.
If you will, Siptrott was one of the real old fighters of the SS, it is surprising that he was not decelerated higher.
In his own words “During a total of 680 combat days on all fronts, I was knocked out with my tank eleven times and wounded three times.” He participated in all campaigns from Poland 1939 up the capitulation in May 1945. “Up until now, I never committed any punishable act. I always took pains to fulfill my duties and serve my Fatherland...”
The story of his love for apple cake is a highlight of his wartime life
His death last year in January was a sad day.
