This photo was taken on the 20. April, 1943. It's Tychsen visiting the SS officer's family complex in Dachau while on leave from the Eastern front. The German Cross in Gold-holder is Pawelka and the man behind him is Worthmann. They were killed in action on the Eastern front during the summer. Tychsen carried this photo when he fell in Normandy and was later picked up by a military police lieutenant of the 2. US Armored Division. I think you might have a copy.

The reason it makes it difficult for most to identify Tychsen here, is that he got heavely battlescared in the face later in the war, and most famous pictures of him are taken in that period.

I suspect that it's a copy because the photo picked up by the lieutenant had another text on the back. It's very possible that several copies existed of the photo. Anyway, it's a very interesting photo.

To the best of my knowledge , this is a original photo

A lot of photos were taken in the units semiofficailly and later sold to the troops. J have seen this in at least a coulple of different SS units.


Happy collecting Jens
