Hello,

Happy to share some photos of my newest acquisition. MY first 10th Panzer Division soldbuch & document group. Herbet Krupp was promoted from gefreiter up to leutnant. He undoubtedly saw heavy action in Tunisa with the 5 kompanie of Panzer-Grenadier Regiment 86. Comments are welcome regrding this unit's engagements in North Afrika.

Below is a photo of him in his tropical uniform. Interestingly, he wears a tropical 1st pattern tunic with officer's collar tabs, bullion eagle with tropical cloth backing, an EK II ribbon, a panzerkampfabzeichen in bronze and his wound badge.

His was taken prisoner in and sent to POW camp 204.

Enjoy!

Christopher
