SS-panzer photo...

[lohengrin]

A collector from Germany just offered me a photo (he claims to be an original) of WSS-panzer soldiers. The price is pretty steep for starters, but I am pretty sure I have seen this photo before - I believe in a book. Can someone give a feedback - Is this is a pretty well know picture?

This is a well known photo that appears in some books and reproduced a lot of times
It will be a miracle if it is original
But if it is - it will worth good money!

Agreed, this is from a well known set, shot, I believe, by SS-PK Mann Friedrich Zschäckel. It shows a Das Reich Division award ceremony from early April, 1943. Atop the tank, looking out, it new DR commander Walter Krüger, while in the helmet in the foreground is Der Führer Reg. commander Otto Kumm.
