This picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Dieck from Propaganda-Kompanie 694, and it shows the funeral of Oberst Gustav-Adolf Riebel, Kommandeur of Panzer-Regiment 24 / 24.Panzer-Division. Riebel was killed in action by artillery shell on 23 August 1942 whilst commanding his regiment just outside Krasnoarmeyskiy, which is just south of Stalingrad on the Volga bend. He was posthumously promoted to Generalmajor.
