Dear comrades.
Pls help! Is it future RKT H. Gresiak?
I saw photo#2 in 2nd volume of "Dictionnaries.." by Tran and he signed photo as I./SS-Pz.Rgt 9.
Or this person only looks like Gresiak?

Comparing him to confirmed photos of Gresiak, I say yes: 100% Gresiak in all three photos.

Best,

It was given to me as a photo showing a Hohenstaufen panzer crew. It was difficult to identify Gresiak since I never had seen him before with such a broad smile. But the similarity with the first picture conforms that it is him.

No, it wasn't. I think it was a copy and not an original one.

The same smile of Horst Gresiak in front of Panzer "213".
