Thought you would all like this one and signed too looks like the two bottom and two top ones could be gold coloured.

Nice picture of Günter Viezenz. Some sources gives him 21 kills, according to others Viezenz himself confirmed 7 kills in a letter to Manfred Dörr.

man when you walked down the street with all those tdbs you knew you were the bad ass of the area. The man had a skill like no other! Matt

I try to find more data on it, to know his biography and find little evidence
of it, that hurts.

He was a very private man after the war, and refused to talk about his experiences.

[John Huff]

"bad ass" would be the phrase....

[afrikasandman]

He ended the war with I think 21 tank kills to his name.... 1 says alot about a man but when you hit 2 or 2 let a lone that many you are in a league of very few. I always thought my tunic with 2 TDBs was wild but I can't fathom a tunic with that many! Matt

[rameses]

The tunic, be a beautiful dream for any collector, I guess not
survived the war (the tunic), there has been dreaming

Wow, i have never seen that photo, that is awesome

[Tietze]

The postcard is not uncommon, it would have been a "promo" postcard to sign and give out, if you want to see another look on wilipedia, under Gunther Viezenz. Also signed but in a different place - which is reassuring, looks like the same pen.

No one doubts this guys élan but those awards are highly conspicuous - and not to be worn in the act of earning another, IMO.

Quite right. No doubt this was his "walking out" uniform and not worn in the field.
