Hello waffen 211!

This is Friedrich Richter, SS-Sturmbannführer and Kommandeur III./SS-Pz.GR 21 of the 10. SS-Panzer-Division "Frundsberg". Richter is one of several very late war RKT that have been disqualified as a legit RKT by the research of Veit Scherzer (2005).
See the following translated note from Axis HIstory Factbook...
