Postcard depicting a wonderful image of the Waffen-SS Division Das Reich entering the fray with their Panthers at Kursk. I believe it was at Kursk where Herr Barkmann was badly injured in his Panther and, being unconscious, was whisked off to a medical tent behind the lines.

When he came round he actually stitched up his own wound himself, rushed out of the tent, nabbed himself a motorcycle and roared back to his tank and carried on the battle.

They don’t make men like that anymore!!

Signed front and back.

 

P.S. Image is from local artist David Pentland’s fantastic artwork.
