[phillip burke]

Hello all , any one have info or photo on Christian Prechtel, SS-Nr. 152.595, 26.08.1914 - 21.06.1944, only other info i have regarding SS-Hauptsturmführer der Reserve Christian Prechtel was that he acquired this rank on 21-06-44, i put this as date of death, that he served in Totenkopf in his early career and he won the EK II in 1939,probably in Poland. This info comes from a postcard with pencil drawing of Prechtel with his EK II . Can anyone help me with futher info about his life and maybe a photo, Also ,was this type of format common,pencil drawings made into postcards,there s another postcard with this but i cant make out the name, both are also signed,thats all folks.
Thanks
