Panzer Knights Cross winner Albert Dressel

[zbv500]

Hi all,

just got that pic out of his family. His name is Albert Dressel, he was killed in the west in ´44. He was also at Stalingrad.
Iam not a good research guy and so I would appricate any help in finding some goods links to him and his unit.
I think he also served with Feldherrnhalle.
I would be also interested in the value of the pic, it has a small crack in through the middle.

Any help would be great.

Many thanks Jens

Hello
Here is what I have :

DRESSEL ALBERT
DoB : 15/09/1914
DoD : 08/09/1944 (the Volksbund site gives the 10/09/44 for his date of death)
Last rank : OBERFELDWEBEL
EK1 : 20/11/1941
DKiG : Not awarded
RK : 13/10/1942 as Fw. in 3/PZ. ABT. 160 (60. INF. DIV. (mot.))

As for the photo value, it would be interesting to see the reverse. Is it signed ? If not, and provided that this is a period photo, I would say between EUR 30 and EUR 50.

Hope this helps
Regards
Denis

How do you identify what is on a German dog tag? Do they use a serial number? Name?

Albert Dressel, das ist richtig. Nach den Aussagen einer mir bekannten Witwe eines FHH-Veteranen ist er durch Kopfschuss beim Herauslehnen aus seinem Panzer gestorben.
Todesdatum 08.09.44 ist korrekt.
Letzter Einsatz bei 1./PzAbt 106 Feldherrnhalle.
