Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Robert Freiherr von Prochazka. Major Robert Freiherr von Prochazka (06.12.1916 † 20.02.2014) earned the Ritterkreuz on December 19, 1943 as Hauptmann und Kommandeur of the III. Abteilung/ Werfer-Regiment 55. Good condition. Postcardsize.
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."
