Knight’s Cross awarded for: During the time period 17.-22.03.1944 Leutnant Carius led 3 Tiger tanks in a series of engagements with Soviet armour near the village of Lembitu (west of Narva). Within 3 days he and his 3 Tigers destroyed 28 tanks, 4 assault guns and 17 artillery pieces. He would be subsequently awarded the Knight’s Cross for the local successes he achieved in this capacity.

Oakleaves awarded for: On the 22.07.1944 Leutnant Carius led a bold attack into the village of Malinava (northeast of Dünaburg) with only himself and his wingman Albert Kerscher. He and his two Tigers charged in Malinava and engaged the force of 17 Soviet tanks positioned there. Of these Carius destroyed 10, Kerscher 4 and a nearby force of Sturmgeschütze 3. Among this tally of destroyed armour were several IS-2 heavy tanks. By executing this bold operation, accomplished with no friendly losses, Leutnant Carius prevented the continuation of the Soviet breakthrough towards Dünaburg and therefore enabled a friendly defensive front to be built. He would be awarded the Oakleaves in recognition of this feat. (Source: Traces of War)

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo plus Letter of  Karl Kreutz. SS-Standartenführer Karl Kreutz (20.09.1909 † 27.07.1997) earned the Ritterkreuz on August 27, 1944 as SS-Standartenführer und Kommandeur of the SS-Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 2 “Das Reich” and the Eichenlaub on May 6, 1945 as SS-Standartenführer und Kommandeur of the SS-Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 2 “Das Reich” of the 2. SS-Panzer-Division “Das Reich”.

Eichenlaub: Awarded for further distinguishing himself in the Ardennes, Hungary and around Vienna (the latter in particular). In Vienna his guns took up firing positions at an important crossroads in order to directly fire upon the Soviet breakthrough attempts. During the withdrawal of the Division the Artillerie-Regiment formed the rearguard (a likely unique case). Kreutz would be recognized for the military achievements of his Regiment during these engagements. (Source: Traces of War)

Original 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: Postcardsize. Comes with an extra signed letter.

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)
