Excuse the somewhat belated response on this thread. I believe Jean-Paul based the identification of the unit upon what was known of German forces in the vicinity of the Poteau road junction on the day. He had studied the captured film at the Imperial War Museum in London, the annotations to the footage notes appears to support this.Emil wrote:Thank you Simon. Problem is: did Pallud base his theory that we're dealing with 2./SS-Pz.Gr.Rgt.1 on a positive ID of that officer, or does he base the ID of that officer on his theory that we're dealing with members of 2./SS-Pz.Gr.Rgt.1?
A complex problem for anybody who is looking for the facts behind the photo.

I seriously question why you (or anyone else) must think that. If I recall correctly, they said that had actually invited the man to join them for I think the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in 2004 but he declined. I doubt they are fabricating any of this.TimoWr wrote:I seriously doubt if the man mentioned by the museum is really the man in that photo.
Justice? please explain?I am sure that Rob would be doing no justice to their promise to maintain this mans anonymity by acknowledging any story (now being openly discussed on a prominent world wide historic forum) that they at the museum do know this mans identity.
contact this man what ever the cost? YOu must be kidding?can't tell people what they should or shouldn't do. I guess I expected people would have realised themselves that approaching Rob and Jacqueline directly with what I have told you would not be a good thing, UNLESS you had both the preparation, will, conviction and most importantly means, backing and resources ($) to follow through and contact this man what ever the cost.
