I have in my collection a tunic that belonged to Oberleutnant Hans-Karl Richter, Kompaniefuhrer 2.(SPW)/Pz.Gr.Rgt. Grossdeutschland, which is complete with his sewn on German Cross In Gold. Could anyone provide me with information on this officer with regards to his wartime, & post war, service?...
