Rudolf Struckmann, Panzer Commander

Hello all, I was given a photograph of the highly decorated Rudolf Struckmann. But I know very little about him apart from his medals. Does anyone know how I can find out more - possibly his service record?

Thank you.

 

He was a panzergrenadier officer rather than panzer, so was basically motorised infantry rather than a tank commander.

From Knights Cross Holders of the Afrikakorps by Franz Kurowski:

 

Thank you for the information. Found it really helpful and interesting.

 

He won his Knights Cross during Operation Crusader so a forum search (or a Google one) will turn up details relating to the battle for the day he won the award.

 

Thank you.
