In Who2, though I am not 100% sure, I think it is Richard Benner, who was awarded the DKiG on 2 April April as Führer III./SS-IR 6. He is still wearing the Totenkopf on his collar patch as he came from the SS-Totenkopf-Division. Moreover, the three men with him are wearing mountain shoes which is tending to prove that they belong to a Gebirgs-Division.

Hello,

Charles could be right about Benner's identification on photo who2.

Gunter83 Have you some hints about this picture to confirm?

To my knowledge, the pictures of Benner are very scarce.

Regards
Patrick

Hello, comrades!

1. Pls help with ID of these men on the photo "who". Officer with DKiG looks like Josef Diefenthal, but i'm not sure. He received his DKiG on October 29th 1944 as SS-Hauptsturmführer in III. / SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 2. Who have any info about this photo?
2. On the photo "who1" is Heinz von Westernhagen, but who is on the left? Is it Peiper?
3. On the photo "who2" are SS-Ustuf. Willi Iriohn, SS-Stubaf. Hein von Westernhagen, SS-Ostuf. Hanno Raasch and unknown man. Who is him? Is It Alfred Günther? Officers are standing next to his "Pz.VI" "311". His is looks like on him, but i'm not sure. Agte in his book about Wittmann didn't sign this man.
3. Who is DKiG winner at the photo "who3".

Thanks in advance for any help.
