Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can help me with career details of Hauptmann Johann Munz. This is what I have so far:

Born 12th September 1910 in Ulm
Ritterkreuz on 18th November 1943 as Kdr. Pi.Btl.387
Survived the war and was in the Bundeswehr from 1956 to 1964, ending with the rank of Major.
Died 23rd Febraury 1994 in Senden

That's all I have. I'm hoping to find details of his career during the war, especially 1939 to 1943. Also would like to find out the date of his awards for EKII and EKI, and the reason for him receiving the Ritterkreuz.

Thanks for any help!

Jason Mark

Thanks Alex, I appreciate the kind words. I own many of the Biblio RKT series, but it's been quite a years since I purchased one. Not even sure if they're still being published.

My latest project is a quarterly journal called "Kampfzone". Issue 2 is just about to be released, Issue 3 is approaching completion. If interested, check out: https://www.leapinghorseman.com.au/product/kampfzone/

After Xmas, I return to "Panzerkrieg Volume 2" (Panzer-Regiment 2), due for completion 2nd quarter 2023.

All the best
Jason
