The only FJ holder of the Gold Tank Destruction Badge?

Oberleutnant Raimund Eckel,commander 14/FJR4 at Cassino.Eckel personally knocked out 3 Shermans with a Panzerschreck,his company destroying 11 tanks in total by Panzerschreck and Tellermines,on the 19th March 1944.The opposing force were New Zealanders of the 20th Brigade supported by a US tank company.
