Gerhard Konopka in the Train


Oberleutnant der Reserve Gerhard Konopka (Führer II.Bataillon / Grenadier-Regiment "Großdeutschland" / Panzergrenadier-Division  "Großdeutschland") posing with his comrades in the train. This picture was taken after he received the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold (9 October 1942) but before he received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes (29 August 1943). Strangely enough, the pic comes from the photo album belong to Ritterkreuzträger Johann Port, which was not even in the same unit as Konopka!
