Comments
Featured in Battle of Berlin book, details will be given to the new owner. A very hard to find battle, Zöllner was lucky not to have been killed, the awarding of the Wounds Badge in Black on the first of May is a very nice addition to this Soldbuch, just a few days before hostilities ended.
