Generalleutnant Hasso von Manteuffel (Kommandeur Panzergrenadier-Division "Grossdeutschland") during a lecture in a factory in Germany, 1944. Manteuffel definitely wore his 'Afrika' award cufftitle on the incorrect sleeve (his right) directly below his Grossdeutchland cuff. This was a highly unusual practice and against regulations, but who is going to argue with this high ranking officer and a war hero?
Generalleutnant Hasso von Manteuffel (Kommandeur Panzergrenadier-Division "Grossdeutschland") during a lecture in a factory in Germany, 1944. Like many of other Ritterkreuzträger (Ritterkreuz holder), Manteuffel had the opportunity to go on a propaganda tour in his homeland to share his stories on the frontline and provide valuable advice based on his experiences.
