Armeekorps), inside the Sd.Kfz.251/3 halftrack vehicle, in conversation with Generalleutnant Adolf-Friedrich Kuntzen (Kommandeur 8.

For his bold forward drive and brave attitude during the breakthrough to the Channel coastline - especially in the Battle of Montreuil sur Mer - Divisionskommandeur Kuntzen would receive the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 3 June 1940. The picture itself was taken by Kriegsberichter Erich Borchert in France, May 1940.
