Awarded the Oak Leaves: December 10th, 1943
This is a really good discover; took me some time, but finally I have some light on Tychsen's RK.
After being wounded more than nine times in total, he was killed in Normandy when the Kubelwagen, which he was in with a driver and an NCO, was fired upon by an advancing American tank. He died of his wounds in American captivity. Looters took his tunic with all his decorations and all other types of identification, so he was buried as an unknown soldier, but was later identified.Comment

Obersturmbannführer Tychsen's RK. An story told by the soldier who took it was that the KC ribbon was discarded by this trooper, because it had Tychsen's blood all over it.Comment
