You can see him here after the presentation of the high award in the circle of his comrades, who heartily wished him a good cheer. The picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Petertil on 29 May 1941. Fischer himselft received the news for his presentation on 21 April 1941. He would received the Eichenlaub for his Ritterkreuz on 8 February 1943.Source :
