In this video we take a look at the 2 panel death card of Johann Schlichtner, a Pionier in the Staff Kompany of Sturm Battalione AOK 8, subordinated to Armeeabteilung Kempf. This unit had been involved in the retaking of Kharkiv in March and had also taken part in Operation Citadel. Johann was annihilated by artillery in Kulynychl, a suburb of Kharkiv two days before the Germans lost control of the city. Werner Kempf would be replaced as a result of this action. #ww2 #militaria #militariamarch
