Description

Oberfeldwebel Karl Wendt was awarded the Knight´s Cross on 21.9.1944, five days after he was killed in action near Jaun-Rukman, Lativa. He served as a Zugführer of the 2.Kompanie Gren.Rgt.412.

Ten original photos of the recipient including a portrait photo wearing the Knight´s Cross. The cross was perfectly period time retouched into the photo which was typical for posthumously awarded recipients.

Furthermore five photos of his comrades. One photo shows the grave of his brother Leutnant Fritz Wendt. Please also note the soldier which is lying on the meadow. He wears the Tank Destruction Badge in silver.

Excellent photo grouping. Good condition 2.

Total: 15 photos.
