Balck is pure patrician and far too modest for werhaboos to know.

Who is he?

>>2822159
Hermann Balck, guy was likely the best field commander of the entire German army, but he refused to cooperate on the postwar debriefing program with the allies, which is why only few people know about him.

Can I get a quick rundown?
What are his accomplishments? Wikipedia doesn't have much

>>2822194
Once he was given emergency command of a German tank division on the march because the Soviets turned the flank of the front. Little Hermann immediately turned this division, and two weeks later his 11th Panzer had destroyed a complete soviet army.

On December 19 1942 his 15th Panzer regiment alone destroyed an entire soviet armored corps. Yes a single regiment destroyed a corps.

>>2822194
He put the Ghost in Ghost Division, i.e. be the guy that comes from fucking nowhere, proper fuck a soviet division or two, and then vanish again.

I briefly read over the first document linked >>2822182 but all it has is a brief mention of the destruction of a "Soviet shock army".

Which army was this, what were the circumstances of its destruction? Did Balk have help?

Does anyone know what that white jacket is? Looks similar to a Soviet telogreika but it's definitely not one by the looks of it.

>>2822368
the German army in winters was an army of beggars and bums

probably some Russian jacket taken from a corpse

>>2822389
I just said it wasn't a telogreika (the Soviet winter coat) it looks allot different. So it's not that my man.
