Please help me with SS Staudegger and SS Mattern photos...

[Bobbe]

Dear all,
I'm looking for photos of Oberscharfuhrer Franz Staudegger from LAH (around 1944-1945) in black panzer wrap and Walter Mattern KC winner 7 Kompanie SS Panzerregiment 3 Totenkopf. I have found only two small photos of them.

Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Roberto

As posted on another forum, this is the only Staudegger photo I have.

Thank you very much Max. I have seen your posts. I have also a color photo in camouflage uniform.. but I'm looking for his black panzer uniform.

Thanks.

Staudegger

Let me look and see in my stuff whether I have a photo of Staudegger in his wrapper.

Bobbe - Do you have the Staudegger group?

Thank you for your help...I hope you can find something.
No about Staudagger...I wish!
I'm only looking for photos of tank aces.

Franz Staudegger

Don Roberto -

Unfotunately I could not find a photo of Staudegger wiearing his wrapper other than the one shown above and the colour shot you mention, but I was able to scan a contemporary drawing of him wearing his black Pz.-wrapper. - So at least a drawing!

There is a whole article about the Staudegger document group written by Manfred Dörr in the "Internationales Militaria Magazin" (IMM) No. 133 of May/June 2008. It includes also postwar photos of Franz Staudegger and war shots of his Tiger crewmen Heinz Buchner, Gerhard Waltersdorf, Günther Braubach and Franz Eimer.

Hope this helps a little.

Saludos,
Markus

Thank you Markus for your help!
It seems that it is very difficult to find some photos of Staudegger of the period of end war. Mattern photos are then a rarity.

Best Regards,

Roberto
