Leutnant Dieter Jahn of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 507 (King Tigers). He was Kommander of 1st Kompanie, HQ
Before that, he was in the Afrika Korps and was wounded in a Panzer III at El Alamein on his 29th Combat engagement with Pz Rgt 5. A true Panzerman.

Thanks,

Rob, thanks for posting on Henners behalf. Beautiful photo. Hopefully some1 can help w/ location.
Nordi, I like that photo. Wondering if it could be 9th Pz Div, rather than 6th....as they used the XX symbols eariler. Does it have a date?
Here is a Panzerman w/ "XI" shoulderboards. Wehrkreis 11- Hanover
Anyone have any info on a possible unit? longshotComment
