ACCEPT PAYPAL MONEY ORDER CASH AT YOUR RISK Obersturmführer Rudolf Ribbentrop was the commander of the 6th Company, Panzer-Regiment "Leibstandarte." On 9 July 1943, while leading his company through a depression along the Russian Steppe in the combat area north of Bjelgorod near Tererewino, a formation of 40 Soviet T-34 tanks was spotted on the march. Without hesitation he ordered to engage the enemy that was comprised of superior numbers. During the brief exchange of fire Ribbentrop destroyed 6 enemy tanks without a single loss to his own company, while the remaining Soviet tanks fled the scene. Ribbentrop's leadership by example, tactical prowess, and command presence in the face of ridiculous odds spoiled a Soviet flanking attack against his own unit.
