2. Hauptmann Fritz Prager at the field graves of German paratroopers in the monastery garden of Moerdijk.

In this photograph, the commander of the II Battalion of Fallschirmjäger Regiment 1 is shown. It is Hauptmann Fritz Prager, paying his final respects at the field graves of fallen German paratroopers in the monastery garden of Moerdijk. The Hauptmann was wounded during the fighting for the Moerdijk bridges, which is why he is being supported by two other German paratroopers. In the lower left corner, the grave of Jäger Otto Ehrhardt, 5./FJR 1 (here shown with the rank of Gefreiter), can be seen. He was killed on 10 May 1940 during the fighting at Willemsdorp.
