€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Paul Senghas. SS-Hauptsturmführer Paul Senghas (31.01.1916 † 06.11.1996) earned the Ritterkreuz on December 11, 1944 as SS-Obersturmführer und Führer of the I. Abteilung/ SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 of the 5. SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking”. Good condition. Measuring: Postcardsize. Handwritten on the reverse.
“On the 18.08.1944 the enemy advanced towards the Warsaw-Radzymin-Wyszkow road with massive forces and strong air support. At the time the 5. SS-Panzer-Division ‘Wiking’ was located along the general line Roszcep-Trojany-Debynki. At the time SS-Obersturmführer Senghas stood as the leader of the Stabskompanie along with the supply units of the I./SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 in Zazdroso (1.5 km east of Niegow).
At 11:00 he received a message which reported the Russians as having broken through in battalion strength to a point 1 km east of the railway embankment. A wide gap existed towards the left neighbour, and there was the danger that the Russians would block the main road and thrust into the left flank of the Division. Recognizing this danger, Senghas made the decision to engage the enemy with the handful of men in the supply units at hand (despite their lack of heavy infantry weapons) and bring the Russians to a halt.
Going into position at the railway embankment, he let the Russians approach to within very close range and then smashed their attack. Reinforcements could not be brought up, and so Senghas defended with his handful of men for the remainder of that day and also the two following days, fighting off strong enemy attacks with only rifles, sub-machine guns and close combat weapons. During this time 2 Panzer IVs, which had been in the repair shop and were only conditionally operational, were brought into the fight. 2 Sherman tanks and 1 T-34 were destroyed immediately after they appeared. The Russians took heavy losses in men and ceased their attacks.
By his own initiative and personal devotion to duty, Senghas thus brought the 3 days of close combat to a conclusion. An enemy breakthrough was prevented and the danger to the left flank of the Division removed. Senghas is one of the oldest Eastern front combat veterans, who has mastered many critical situations through swift decisiveness and bold action while ruthlessly demanding the utmost of himself.”

€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Karl Nicolussi-Leck. SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Nicolussi-Leck earned the Ritterkreuz on April 9, 1944 as SS-Obersturmführer und Chef of the 8. Kompanie/ SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 of the 5. SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking”. Good condition. Measuring 16,5x10cm.
Karl Nicolussi-Leck was the commander of a Panther company in the 5. SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking” during its efforts to relieve the trapped garrison at Kovel in March 1944. On the 27th of that month, with the German relief efforts still in progress, Nicolussi-Leck received an order to halt all offensive actions. By this point he was in radio conduct with the garrison, and felt that its relief was of the utmost importance. He thus told his radio operator to send a reply stating that he (Nicolussi-Leck) could not be found, and with that continued the push to the town. Three days later, following difficult fighting, he was able to reach the trapped garrison with seven tanks on the early morning of the 30th. By doing so he was able to substantially reinforce the garrison’s defences, and he remained with them until Kovel was finally relieved for good. His recommendation also says that he destroyed 17 tanks in the process, although it is possible this number is for the whole company. Either way, Nicolussi-Leck’s actions were judged to be worthy of the Knight’s Cross, and he received this award shortly afterwards. (Source: Traces of War)

Knight’s Cross: “Early on the 10.12.1944 SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski, Batterie-Führer in the Flak-Abteilung 18, prevented a breakthrough by 22 enemy tanks into the deep flank of the IV. Panzer-Korps. At the time he was providing flank protection from the village of Szecseny. During the enemy attack he personally shot up 6 T-34s in the space of 50 minutes.
Through his brave conduct he inspired the rest of his Batterie to act likewise, despite the fact that some of them had wanted to abandon the position. This resulted in the destruction of a further 7 tanks by his men.
This deed by SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski was of decisive importance insofar as he prevented the seizure of Sczecseny (located in the deep flank of the Korps) and thereby the cutting off of several German units.
In addition to this, SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski also personally destroyed another 2 T-34s near Jaszbereny (Hungary) on the 15.11.1944.”
