Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photocopy of Siegfried Freyer. Wachtmeister Siegfried Freyer (11.02.1917 † 10.05.2014) earned the Ritterkreuz on July 23, 1942 as Wachtmeister und Zugführer of the 4. Kompanie/ Panzer-Regiment 24 of the 24. Panzer-Division. Good condition. Postcardsize.
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. He would be decorated with the Knight’s Cross for this action.
