by the way .... seen before a forum member with connections to the panzer destruction strip list.
I do own a tunic from an officer (leutnant) of the grossdeutschland panzer division. it has attached this badge on right arm and the DK in Gold -cloth version- on right breast.
perhaps somebody could help me to identify this soldier.
advanced thanks for kind cooperation.
