Hi Jason.....you are correct ! I won his mini chain, medal bars and some badges, now its time to find out a bit more about the man, a remarkable survivor of 11 years in Soviet captivity, and then rejoins the new German Army !
Jamie, thanks for the information, unfortunatly I am not a full member so I am unable to post images of my win !
Gents, I believe he has been mentioned in a couple of books on the battle of Stalingrad, you do not happen to know in which books ?
Prost ! Steve.

I was bidding on Pohl's photo album. I put in a pretty decent maximum bid but still came second.

Can't add much except I met him back in the 70's and he seemed like a nice man. Tom
