Major Walter Pössl, Kommandeur I./PzRgt "Großdeutschland" with his Knights Cross (RK) around his neck, Russia, 1943. Also his Iron Cross 1st Class (EK1) on lower left chest with his wound badge (Vervundetenabzeichen) underneath. On his right chest is his German Cross in Gold (DKIG). On his right sleeve you can just see his cuff title Großdeutschland (Greater Germany). Only certain elite Heer (Army) and Waffen-SS units were allowed to wear a cuff title featuring the name of their regiment or division
