Dear Sir,

Job-Wilhelm von Witzleben had served in the East German Army (NVA) postwar and retired as an Oberst. I wonder if is still alive today?

For what actions got Henning von Witzleben his Ritterkreuz?
My Grandfather, who was a simple Gefreiter in PzAA 16, wrote on February 16th, 1942 that Witzleben got it for the actions of the last four weeks.
What kind of actions did those four weeks include?

Thanks in advance

And another photo of this courageous Field Marshal hours before he was executed. Source on the picture.
