Leibstandarte StuG.Abt. 1940

[Peter]

Please can a specialist ID either of the SS-Hscha., the sequence of NARA/Kriegsberichter photos seems to be in France in 1940. Quite possibly they received promotions in the years to come. Thanks

[Peter]

and from the same sequence another SS-Hscha. but an infantryman this time.

[Peter]

With that set of awards an ID can surely be made by a LSSAH specialist ? I haven't seen this photo discussed on another thread so lets try here.

[Peter]

from the same sequence May/Jun 1940, are they recognized ? SS-Stuscha. and SS-Hscha., both early recipients of the EK I. thanks

Could one of them be Helmut Fankhauser ?

2nd looks like future RKT Erich Grätz. EK-I 14.06.40 as SS-Hscha.

[Peter]

Can any member offer any more names please ?

The SS-Hstuf. has the following awards - EK-I, EK-II, Verwundet. Abz. in Schwarz, Braunschweig 1931, DLRG in Silver. If we knew exactly which Rgt. they belonged to ge must be possible to ID.

Best regards

The SS-Hstuf. is Rudolf Schröder.

Thanks Harro, excellent.

[Peter]

Can any more be identified please ? Could it be Erich Grätz above ?

[gunter83]

No doubts that it's him. If you don't trust my opinion so Charles Trang recognized him in his "LAH" book set.

[Peter]

That is superb thank you Gunter, can you ID any of the others please ?

[gunter83]

Sorry, but I can't. My focus mostly on WSS RKT. That's why I knew Gratz. I have several of his pre-war pics and for me was easy to recognize him.
