Comments: 

More photos and accounts about him can be found online, this a rare opportunity to own an actual attributed tag, which made it out of Stalingrad. A silent witness of great feats of bravery. He won the German Cross in Gold and had the Honor Roll Clasp. And last posting was as Schwadron Commander of a Panzer unit.
