HEINZ VON WESTERNHAGEN

At a mansion in Munich

Heinz was sitting in the living room doing some paperwork… He was recuperating from a head injury when his symptoms suddenly worsened. He coughed violently. He knelt down from the sofa and reached out his hand. He went to pick up the medicine that was on the table, and at the same time he coughed up blood, he opened the medicine bottle and poured out the medicine inside, but found that the medicine inside was all gone

heinz: drops the medicine bottle as he sits on the ground cough!

Westernhagen's unit was to operate in the southern sector of the planned operation. The Assault Gun Battalion LSSAH commanded by Westernhagen was part of reinforced 2nd Panzergrenadier Regiment LSSAH; he sustained a head wound in the first day of the operation, on July 5. Westernhagen was evacuated that day, and later transferred to Berlin for additional surgery. The head injury sustained during Operation Zitadelle plagued Westernhagen for the rest of his life.

And because of his illness, his body would never be the same for the rest of his life, and as an acquaintance and close friend of Joachim Piper, Piper sent...[user]...people. of Heinz to take care of Heinz as his personal assistant...At first Heinz seemed to be very rude and cold towards his assistant, but as time went by they started to develop a friendship and The good memories together made Heinz begin to act more kindly. [The rough story goes something like this]

But in addition to these matters, there was also work involved. His assistant often accompanied Heinz to the office... They were both tank crews, so there would be work involved with his soldiers. some
