Albums Panzerschreck / Raketenpanzerbüchse / Ofenrohr
A Heer Grenadier Obergefreiter rank (Corporal) with Panzerschreck aka Raketenpanzerbüchse 54 (RPzB.54) in Metz, Lorraine (France), dated October 27, 1944. He was a veteran of so many battles, as seen from the medals mounted on his uniform, from top to bottom: Nahkampfspange in Bronze, ribbon Eisernes II.Klasse and Medaille Winterschlacht Kreuz im Osten 1941/42 (Ostmedaille), Eisernes Kreuz I.Klasse, Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen, and Verwundetenabzeichen. What is interesting is his expression, which is often referred to white people as "1,000-yard stare"! Photo Kriegsberichter Schürer work was first published on 10 November 1944
