A Wartime Photo of a Panzer NCO; KIA 1943

A photo, measuring 87x137mm, extremely fine condition with a crease in the top right corner. It shows a young NCO rank Panzer troop soldier. He wears a Silver Grade Panzer Badge, a Wound Badge, probably Silver Grade, and an Eastern Front Campaign ribbon and Iron Cross 2nd Class ribbon. He also wears a marksmanship lanyard, however the grade is unknown. The reverse reads: In memory of my Helmut, February 27, 1943. Most likely this indicates that he was killed in action, and on which day.
