this accompanying document was sent to the family with three Pz destruction stripes, the document as well as the document for the Close Combat Badge and badge itself.
..........and an as yet unidentified recipient of 5 PVA's. The name written on the back of the photo was OberstLeutnant (Hauptsturmfuehre) and RitterKreuzTraeger (RKT) Jakob Heidrich. However, there is no Heidrich listed in the accepted RKT list and this may be a made up postwar print. I still haven't lost hope that this guy can be identified.
(by the way, he's wearing an EK2 as a RK; But this was probably fairly common for front line RKT's; He does seem to be missing a CCC
More to follow later........
