    A 'humble' Zweitschrift SB.....

    I just wanted to show you a Zweitschrift SB from my collection.
    A Zweitschrift SB is for most collectors not comparable to a first issue, but better a Zweitschrift than not having a specific first issue

        Like you can see, it was issued very late in the war, April 1945.

              As you can see in the pictures, they gave the russians a hell of a beating with their ad-hoc force.

                        The last stronghold in the city was the medieval fortress.

                          With this heroic defense, thousands of german refugees were possible to flee for the 'Barbarians of the East' .

                          In this picture we see his award ceremony.
                          He is pictured left, already wearing a DKiG, which he earned already in 1942.

                            His Ritterkreuz was awarded on 10 February 1945, during the defence of the city.

                              He was wounded on 29.03.1945, when commanding the Grenadier-Regiment 62.


                              This brave soldier, a veteran of 2 World Wars, died peacefully in February 1976.
