A postwar photo of Ritterkreuzträger Paul Behr (9 May 1910 - 11 December 1990). He ereceived the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 28 March 1945 as Hauptmann der Reserve and Chef 13.Kompanie / III.Bataillon / Füsilier-Regiment 39 / 26.Volksgrenadier-Division. Hauptmann Behr particularly distinguished himself in the time period 23-25 January 1945 by successfully carrying out a difficult operation against superior enemy forces while fighting in the Lausdorn area (specifically around Hills 495 and 517). He would subsequently be awarded the Ritterkreuz as a result.
