Hasso von Manteuffel during the Battle of Lorraine


General der Panzertruppe Hasso von Manteuffel (Oberbefehlshaber 5. Panzerarmee) inspects members of Panzer-Brigade 113 - one of whom is a recipient of Deutsches Kreuz in Gold and Panzervernichtungsabzeichen in Silber - in the village of Abreschviller, Moselle, in the Sarrebourg sector (France) in the midst of the Battle of Arracourt/Lorraine, 20 September 1944. It was only 11 days earlier when Manteuffel was appointed as a Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Panzer Army after previously being the commander of the elite Panzergrenadier-Division "Grossdeutschland". Please note that the officer at far left is wearing civilian boots sometimes worn by Wehrmacht Heer Offiziere, boots with closure strap on the upper part of the shaft (but with a soft shaft).



The same place as above right now.

In this photo we can clearly see the Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber and Goldenes Hitlerjugend Ehrenabzeichen medals pinned to his black Panzer uniform.
