Hi Guys,
This week I received a period book I bought that some of you guys might know its the book "Panzer Am Feind" written by Fritz Fechner. Mine is a second edittion from 1942, don't know when the first edition was published.
It recalls the combat action from Panzer Regiment 6 during the blitz in Belgium and France.
In this book I found a picture that facinated me. It shows 3 members of Pz rgt. 6 and underneath it reads:
"Die ersten Panzersturmabzeichen und ihre Strahlenden Träger" which translates as "the first Panzer Strom Badges and their proud recipients".
Now for my question. Personally I have a good idea about which type of PAB these guys received however the resolution of the picture in this book is so low that it doesn't allow me to blow it up and recognize the type of badge they are wearing.
Now I was wondering if any of you photo collectors might be able to help me out with good pictures of early (june 1940 -dec 1940) awarded PAB's. I'm sure such pictures must exist and I would be very gratefull for any help you could provide me with.
Many thanks in advance.
