Johann Thaler in Normandy


Ritterkreuzträger SS-Unterscharführer Johann Thaler (center) gathered with his comrades in front of a camouflaged Panzer IV. He received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 14 August 1943 as a Panzerfahrer in 6.Kompanie / II.Abteilung / SS-Panzer-Regiment 2 / SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Das Reich", the only tank driver in the Waffen-SS to win the Ritterkreuz! The picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Theobald of Kriegsberichter-Zug Oberbefehlshaber West during the Battle of Normandy, June 1944.
