WWII German Portrait Photo – General (Knights Cross) – Erich Bärenfänger – Original Period Photo – Berlin 1945 (Offer Accepted)
Erich Bärenfänger (12 January 1915 – 2 May 1945) was a German general during World War II. He was a recipient of the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords of Nazi Germany. In the final days of the war, Bärenfänger was commander of several defense sectors during the Battle of Berlin; he committed suicide on 2 May 1945. Berlin, 1945 Towards the end of World War II, Bärenfänger took part in the Battle for Berlin. On 24 April, due to the direct command of Hitler, Bärenfänger was given command of defence sectors A and one day later also command of sector B.[1] Bärenfänger mounted at least two unsuccessful armored attacks northwards up the Schönhauser Allee. The second was on 1 May.[2] Members of SS-Brigadeführer Wilhelm Mohnke’s “break out group” saw quite a sight thanks to Bärenfänger. On 1 May, the group left the surrounded central government sector, which included the Führerbunker. As they made their escape, there before them they saw a “host” of new Tiger II tanks and “artillery pieces” arrayed around the Flak tower as if “on parade”. Bärenfänger was allegedly seated in the turret cupola of one of the Tigers thus arrayed.[3] On 2 May, Bärenfänger, a devoted Nazi, committed suicide with his young wife and her brother in a side street of Berlin.[2]
