Gefreiter Albert Plapper (RK 30.10.44), Squad leader in 4./Fsch.Pz.Gren.Rgt. 2 2HG. In the book "Hermann Göring - from Regiment to Fallschirmpanzerkorps" by Bender & Petersen (1975) there is a group photo (p. 87) of newly awarded Ritterkreuzträgers of the HG Panzerkorps and Gefreiter Plapper is sporting one Tank Destruction badge on his right arm.

That's the picture. Could we assume that he's wearing a gold PVA?

And regarding Heinz Probst, there's any picture to show how many PVA he received for 7 tanks?

Josef Przybilla of 2./Art.Rgt. 134 on 1st September 1943.
Can anyone help me with some info on this? Art.Rgt. 134 was in Army group center on the Eastern front and was wiped out at Minsk. I've found some graves with this name on the VDK site, but none that come from the right catchment area or were killed around Minsk. He may of course have survived, the folding of the document looks like it was in his Soldbuch for some years.

LRRPS is correct, that is the source, along with some detective work.
