SS-Hauptscharführer and medic Andreas Lösch. Lösch, born in 1912, served as a "Legion Condor" member during the Spanish Civil War and was awarded the Spanish Cross in silver. He was an early SA member serving with Sturm 45/6.
During WWII, Lösch served as a Waffen-SS Stabsscharführer (Spieß) and medic with several units.
