A picture postcard of German soldiers conferring in a forest in Croatia, 1943. It is one of a series of photographs taken by the 7. SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs-Division "Prinz Eugen" in Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro from 1942 to 1944, after the German invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The photographs are believed to have been captioned by the commanding office of the Waffen-SS, and had been in the possession of Friedrich Wilhem Krueger, who served with the division from November 1943 until April 1944. The Ritterkreuzträger (Knight's Cross recipient) 2nd from left is Karl Kochendörfer. He received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 18 September 1942 as Unteroffizier and Geschützführer in 3.Kompanie / Schnelle Abteilung 296 / 296.Infanterie-Division.
