5x Panzerknacker...Georg Comes Home

[InfanterieSammler]

Sold this group in 2011, but thanks to my friend PB, Georg has now come "home" again. I am only collecting documents related to the fighting against the Allies, the "Italian Campaign" and "Western Front '44-'45", so this group fits my collection perfectly.

Nietert's story is well-known - from company baker to 5x Panzerknacker. He destroyed his first Sherman tank in Nov.'44 and then on a single day in Jan.'45 he is credited with destroying 3 Shermans and 1 MG carrier with his Panzershreck, while disabling two additional Shermans.

Enjoy,
John

Hi Vince,
