I have long wondered why there wasn't a better photo of this man somewhere. I have an early one from his personnel file and it is even worse quality than this one. When I saw the title of this thread I hoped it might produce a good photo at last... unfortunately no. But thanks for posting all these bio blerbs from the book J-H, interesting.

A while ago i bought this picture from an officer of Pz Reg. 6, taken in Zossen.
He looks a bit like Munzel, could it be him?
