Das Motiv aus der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda zeigt Oberleutnant Kurt Bauer der deutschen Wehrmacht mit Deutschem Kreuz, Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen, Eisernem Kreuz und Nahkampfspange, aufgenommen im November 1944. Die nationalsozialistische Berichterstattung schreibt am 10.11.1944 auf der Rückseite des Bildes: "Dreimal das 'Goldene'. Oberleutnant Kurt Bauer aus Stöcken bei Werdau, Kompaniechef einer thüringischen Infanterie-Division, trägt das Deutsche Kreuz in Gold, das goldene Verwundetenabzeichen und erhielt jetzt die Bestätigung für die Goldene Nahkampfspange."

Also according to Gordon Williamson: "I had some correspondence some years back with former SS-Hauptsturmführer Jakob Lobmeyer. As some of you will know, these guys often have a short "Lebenslauf" made up that they can give out to people who express interest or ask for photos etc. Amongst the awards was the Golden Tank Destruction Badge."

Rueckseite des Bildes: "Der deutsche Volkssturm im ostpreussischen Grenzgebiet. Wo es geht, helfen auch junge Maedel mit, so z.B. zur Erledigung der unerlaesslich notwendigen Schreibarbeit. Ein Einheitsfuehrer des Volkssturms diktiert einer solchen freiwilligen Helferin Befehle in die Maschine." Date: 01.11.1944

Re: Re:
Thanks, I hadn’t seen Gordon’s previous post where Lobmeyer claimed a PVAiG, I’m sure that this is perfectly feasible. From the ‘Traces of war’ website, it states that the awards for Lobmeyer are not all supported and/or documented (see below), including his NKSiG EL And even his RK. However, they do show an undated photo of him wearing his RK.Hardigan wrote: ↑16 Aug 2020, 01:08Also according to Gordon Williamson: "I had some correspondence some years back with former SS-Hauptsturmführer Jakob Lobmeyer.

Unfortunately, in the haze of the last months of the war, anything is possible and the question of whether or not he officially received these awards is somewhat academic. He was certainly in the thick of the fighting and was probably eligible for most, if not all of these awards. The question being whether or not the administrative processes were still in place to confirm the awards.
Re: Die Panzerknacker- the holders of the tank destruction badge
are there any civilian or female awardees for the tank destruction badge? (single one)
Re: Die Panzerknacker- the holders of the tank destruction badge
From what I can remember, there was a Gauleiter who claimed that his daughter had ‘killed’ a Russian tank towards the end of the war. However, if you look at the age of his daughter, she was too young in 1945, so I think this was probably a lie.
There were HJ who knocked out tanks, and many HJ panzerknacker teams at the end of the war, so it’s highly likely that there are more than one HJ PVA’s. With that said, I’ve not come across any confirmed female or even non-military/HJ PVA winners, but would believe that there’s a high possibility that women/girls/civilians caught up in the maelstrom of the end of the war knocked out a tank or two.

Re: Die Panzerknacker- the holders of the tank destruction badge
Unteroffizier (and officer candidate) Günter L Ŭ M M A. Uffz Lŭmma was born on 10 August 1925 in Altöls, Niederschlesien.
He was mobilized with 3./Grenadier Ersatz u. Ausbildung Btl. 6 on 22 July 1943. He was awarded the EKII while assigned to 3./Gren Rgt 6 (30 Inf Div) on 9 Sep 44 for action during the Baltic withdrawal. In October 1944, Grenadier Regiment 6 was dissolved due to heavy losses and Uffz Lŭmma was transferred to 5./Pz. Gren. Rgt 112 (20 Pz Div). Uffz Lŭmma would earn the Tank Destruction Badge on 24 March 1945 for action against a Russian tank during the siege fighting at Breslau.
