ExcerptOriginal Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Albert Stenwedel. SS-Sturmbannführer Albert Stenwedel (10.09.1908 † 29.07.1997) was an early volunteer for the SS (SS service number 28 762) and earned the Ritterkreuz on May 3, 1945 as SS-Sturmbannführer und Kommandeur of the II. Bataillon/ SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 27 “Handschar” of the 13. SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs-Division “Handschar”. Knight’s Cross: “On the 01-02.04.1945 Sturmbannführer Stenwedel and his Bataillon distinguished themselves while holding a crossing over the Murr river. Despite a lack of support from heavy weapons they were able to defend their positions successfully against overwhelming enemy forces, and by doing so they secured the safe passage of the rest of the 13. SS-Freiwilligen-Waffen-Gebirgs-Division “Handschar” over the Murr river. Stenwedel was recommended for the Knight’s Cross as a result.”
