            The current owner has provided some additional images for posting.

            Shot of von Beschwitz wearing the wrap. Note numbered panzer assault badge and the officer's habitual wear of breeches.

                      Thank you, Mike, for these very cool pictures Wow, men, this is just so unreal, haha! I mean this wrap makes the history to look like it was yesterday! Now imagine if von Beschwitz/the owner of this wrap posted his comments in this thread and told us some stories.. !

                        Great photos.

                        It appears he is wearing the same jacket and possibly the same breeches in the field, as worn in the studio photo.No doubt taken around the same time.

                          Hi Scott,
                          Seeing that the man is now in his 90th year maybe your friend could be persuaded for one night only to re-unite the group even virtually?
