Untouched grouping available on the market for the first time. Please see other lots to Hans Heerdt listed in this catalogue.

Hans Heerdt, born in 1918,  was promoted a Feldwebel on 1.1.1945 serving with Panzer-Ersatz-Abteilung 500 in Paderborn. Before, he was serving in the field with Panzer-Regiment 27 awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class, the Tank Assault Badge, the East Medal and the Wound Badge in black. 

His unit in Paderborn used Tiger and Panther tanks which are shown inside his photo album. Heerdt had a small wound behind his right ear. A photo inside his album shows him being bandaged. This personal visor cap comes with a blood stain to the sweat-band caused by the same wound! In addition, he wears exactly that visor cap on a period time photo!
