SS-Sturmbannführer Dr. Egon Skalka, chief medical officer of the Hohenstaufen Division, photographed in early 1945. Skalka was instrumental in arranging the truce to evacuate wounded from the Oosterbeek pocket to hospitals in Arnhem in September 1944, which resulted in the lives of many wounded British paratroopers being saved.
