Infanterie-Division. Good condition. Postcardsize.
Knight’s Cross: “Major Mulzer fought with his Pionier-Bataillon in the sector of the 95. Infanterie-Division during the fighting for the Orel salient in mid-1943. In this time he and his men cleaned up numerous Soviet penetrations via energetic counterattacks and, on one occasion, he recaptured a commanding height in an attack launched on his own initiative. Mulzer would receive the Knight’s Cross for these actions.”
Oakleaves: “Near the end of 1943 the Pionier-Bataillon 195 occupied a defensive sector west of Bobruisk. Following an artillery barrage the Soviets attacked this sector with significant forces on a broad front. With his last reserves, namely soldiers from his staff as well as some drivers, Major Mulzer was able to eject the Soviet soldiers from his position and bring the attack in his sector to a halt. Meanwhile however the Soviets had managed to break through in the right neighbouring sector, and from here they threatened to roll up the whole Division’s frontline. Mulzer quickly recognized this danger and, assembling as many soldiers as could be spared, he launched a flank attack against this new opposing force. After a short but violent battle, the Soviets here fled after having suffered heavy losses. Major Mulzer then threw up a temporary defensive front and was able to hold it against all new hostile breakthrough attempts until the arrival of reinforcements. Through his bravery and decisiveness, Mulzer had thus averted a great danger for the whole German frontline west of Bobruisk. He would thus be awarded the Oakleaves to his Knight’s Cross.”

Knight’s Cross recommendation: “On the 06.06.1940, following the attack of the 1. Gebirgs-Division over the Oise Canal at Coucy le Chateau and its own crossing of the canal, the Gebirgs-Jäger-Regiment 98 received the mission of securing the open left flank in anticipation of the main German attack the next day. The Panzerabwehr-Zug under Pössinger was responsible for tank defense along the left wing of this security detail. On this day an enemy tank attack was met by Pössinger’s Zug alone and was thrown back here, with Leutnant Pössinger personally manning the first gun. Showing brave and exemplary behaviour, he alone continued to serve the gun in the strongest of enemy tank fire. He can be credited with both the leadership of the defense here as well as the destruction of 6 enemy tanks.”
Oakleaves recommendation: “Battalion Pössinger had already thrown back an enemy battlegroup consisting of two companies in the area around Landsberg (East Prussia). Following this they continued to push north towards Hanshagen, from which they began to receive strong flanking fire. In response to this Major Pössinger personally stormed into the heavily defended town at the head of his Grenadiers. In doing so he seized a cornerstone of the enemy break-in area here, and his Grenadiers managed to capture (among other things) 13 enemy anti-tank and infantry guns. Major Pössinger was born on 18.01.1919 in Ettal (Upper Bavaria) as the son of a farmer. He has already been awarded the Knight’s Cross on 19.07.1940.”
