Provenance: This signature comes from one of the largest postwar signature collection I’ve ever commissioned. This collection was started by a Waffen-SS Veteran, Werner H., in the 1950’s until he passed away.

Knight's Cross recommendation: "On the 14.11.1943 the Soviets launched a major attack against the sector of the 76. Infanterie-Division (located between Petrowo and Losowatka), and it was not long before the front of this Division became breached in several places. The Soviet aim was to break through in the direction of the city of Krivoi Rog, which was about 90 km away. However they were eventually stopped after gaining about 10 kilometres, not least due to the efforts of Hauptmann Prochazka. In this time Prochazka successfully managed to hinder the Soviet forces through well-laid fire from his Batterien, which struck a number of identified Soviet assembly areas with particularly devastating volleys."
