Fritz Arndt – Panzer-Pionier-Bataillon 32
€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photocopy of Fritz Arndt. Oberfeldwebel Fritz Arndt (01.06.1910 † 12.03.2003) earned the Ritterkreuz on March 31, 1943 as Obergefreiter und MG-Schütze in the Stabskompanie/ Panzer-Pionier-Bataillon 32 of the 12. Panzer-Division and the Eichenlaub on December 9, 1944 as Feldwebel und Zugführer in the 1. Kompanie/ Panzer-Pionier-Bataillon 32. Good condition. Postcardsize.
Knight’s Cross recommendation: “During February 1943 the Panzer-Pionier-Bataillon 32 was in position about 50 km northeast of Orel. The Soviets launched a tank-supported attack against this Bataillon in the middle of the month. Obergefreiter Arndt was thus given the task of proceeding to the forward strongpoint “Dora” and delivering orders for its garrison to pull back to the primary defensive strongpoint “Cäsar”. Arndt had barely passed on these orders when the Soviets were upon the defenders. A tank opened up direct fire on Arndt himself, however Arndt managed to keep control over his nerves and allow the tank to come closer before destroying it with a T-mine. Despite the warnings of his comrades, Arndt remained in the strongpoint as the garrisoning Kompanie pulled back. Totally alone, he engaged the attacking Soviets with a captured co-axial machine-gun. A deadly game of cat and mouse followed, however Arndt was repeatedly able to evade the Soviets via an underground pipe system that the attackers were unaware of. Using this system, he was able to repeatedly appear in the Soviet rear and inflict heavy losses. He ultimately managed to return to the primary defensive strongpoint while also taking back 10 prisoners. Arndt thereby managed to prevent a potentially devastating breakthrough despite being all on his own. He was awarded the Knight’s Cross for his bravery.”
Oakleaves: “On the 30.11.1944 Feldwebel Arndt succeeded in preventing a major Soviet breakthrough north of Autz (Lithuania). During the course of their attack the Soviets succeeded in taking the German main battle line and thrusting far beyond it. In response, Arndt rallied about 20 men and ordered them to mount up on 2 SPWs. With these he drove past the enemy tanks and their mounted infantry up to the old frontline. Upon arrival he and his men dismounted, captured the MG positions and then rolled up the trenches to either side. Arndt immobilized a T-34 tank with a T-mine. The crew bailed out and was taken prisoner. After this Arndt and two of his comrades clambered into the tank and turned its gun upon the attacking Soviet forces, destroying multiple Soviet tanks. This compelled the bulk of the attacking Soviet forces to retreat, although a few scattered squads became encircled behind the German lines and surrendered. Arndt would later receive the Oakleaves for eliminating this Soviet penetration and thereby preventing a possible Soviet breakthrough.”

Knight’s Cross recommendation: On the 07.07.1942, during the urban combat in Voronezh, Wachtmeister Freyer attacked a group of Soviet tanks that were trying to break through the encirclement ring of the Kampfgruppe on his own initiative. He destroyed 10 Soviet T-34 tanks in the space of just a half hour, and in doing so decisively contributed to the eventual occupation of Voronezh.

Good condition. Postcardsize.
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.”

Reichsarzt SS und Polizei Ernst-Robert Grawitz (War Crimes) (Suicide 1945)
€0,01Scarce Original Private Wartime Photograph of Ernst-Robert Grawitz with another SS-Officer and other non-SS Officiers. Good condition. Postcardsize.
Grawitz was born in Charlottenburg, in the western part of Berlin, Germany. As Reichsarzt SS und Polizei, Grawitz was also head of the German Red Cross. Grawitz funded Nazi attempts to “eradicate the perverted world of the homosexual” and research into attempts to “cure” homosexuality. This involved experimentation on inmates in Nazi concentration camps. He was in charge of “enthusiastic” experiments on concentration camp inmates.
Grawitz was also a part of the group in charge of the murder of mentally ill and physically handicapped people in the Action T4 “euthanasia” programme, including children from 1939. The officials selected the doctors who were to carry out the operational part of the killing programme. In addition, researchers both in and outside the SS wanted to exploit the supply of inmates held in the SS camps and use them for experiments. In order to do so, the interested parties had to apply to Grawitz, who forwarded requests to Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler who then gave final approval.
Towards the end of World War II in Europe, Grawitz was a physician in Adolf Hitler’s Führerbunker. When he heard that other officials were leaving Berlin in order to escape the advancing Soviet Red Army, Grawitz petitioned Hitler to allow him to leave Berlin; his request was denied. As the Soviet Army advanced on Berlin, Grawitz killed himself and his family with grenades at their house in Babelsberg.

Knight’s Cross Recommendation: In the breakthrough against tough forest positions north of the Luga on 08.08.1941 Waldenfels led his men outstandingly. Later, during the attack on Soviet fieldworks near Vopolzowa on 13.08.1941, he and his men stormed through hostile minefields, bunkers and static tank turret positions to achieve their objective. Waldenfels personally led his men from the treeline and assisted in the capture of the first Soviet trench position. Despite strong flanking fire from Lopsi Waldenfels and his men were able to capture Vopolzowa after six days of battle and thus the division was finally able to break out of the forested/marshy terrain north of the Luga. For his contribution to this success Waldenfels received the Knight’s Cross.
Oakleaves: Awarded for the role his division played while trapped in the Kamenets-Podolsky “wandering pocket”. It was his unit (6. Panzer-Division) which entered Buczacz on 06.04.1944 and linked up with 10. SS-Panzer-Division “Frundsberg” later that day, thus having the honour of initiating the contact between 1st and 4th Panzer Armies. (Source: Traces of War)
