Then, in a counterthrust of his own, he smashed the enemy’s 550th Regiment. Through this Eichhorn has exhibited an example of the highest devotion to duty, and through his independent actions he once again brought the important road/railway junction firmly under friendly control. Over 700 enemy dead were counted. 5 artillery pieces, 3 heavy anti-tank guns, 1 heavy AA gun, 8 anti-tank rifles, 22 MGs, numerous small arms and 30 horse-drawn wagons were also captured.” Price: $40.00 Please contact us before ordering to confirm availability and shipping costs.
