Hi, Andrey

Your RT it´s Generalmajor Moritz von Drebber. He was captured at Stalingrad, in Soviet captivity (25 Jan 1943-21 Oct 1949).

Cheers,

Graveland.

Thanks, George and Ruslan.

Does anyone have the correct name of the RKT after 2:21? I can't find anyone remotely close to "Oberleutnant Franz Wulffisch (sp?)" at http://www.ritterkreuztraeger-1939-45.d ... tart.htm#W

Edit: Never mind, I figured out it's "Franz Ludwig", who's not listed at the above site either. Does anyone have the details of his death on 1944-8-14?
