12 August 1944 at Udine, Italian Front: Generalleutnant Bernhard Steinmetz (Kommandeur 94. Infanterie-Division) saluting during the inspection of his troops, in a Ritterkreuz award ceremony for Leutnant der Reserve Alfred Heyn (Zugführer in 7.Kompanie / II.Bataillon / Grenadier-Regiment 267 / 94.Infanterie-Division). Heyn is seen in the middle with the Ritterkreuz ribbon hanging from his neck. At left is Oberst Fritz Grassau (Kommandeur Grenadier-Regiment 267 / 94.Infanterie-Division), which would receive the Ritterkreuz on 15 April 1945, a mere five days before he was killed in action!Source :
