The right hand side officer in post 8373 is Wilhelm Borchert.

Hello,

need help with ID of RKT. Who knows where this photo was published?
Is it Stefan Strapatin or Fritz Christen? And please verify you have identified who he is.
Thanks in advance,

Hello

Post 8357 by Daniel, the second picture showing a Hptm.

This is Hans Eikmeier from Reiter-Rgt. 32 (3. Kav. Div.)

On the background of this picture, there is a soldier with 5 Tank DEsctruction Badges: Daniel, I hope identifying Eikmeier (it was a long hunt) will be helpful to ID this higly decorated soldier....
Let us know

Thanks
Denis

Many thanks.

I´ve found this for Hermann Kessler:

So you are right. And it is really 56. ID.

Page 555 - post #8322 - Walter Mix;

Page 557 - post #8354 - Leutnant d.R. Friedrich von Einem (gennant v. Rothmaler);
The KC-holder at the left is again Heinrich Kloepper. And left next to him we can see the half of the face of Otto Schultz. Both were from JG 51. So the ofter two KC-holders could be also from this unit.
+ Hauptmann Beyer. On the 4th person I'm not sure, it may be Berthold Graßmuck. He doesn't wear the cuff-title, therefore it is not
JG 3 or JG 51.

***
Ingo, you are 100% sure it's Rudolf Krüger (post #8373)? What do you think about Ernst Thiem?

Best wishes
Ruslan
