I posted that last photo on WAF (I'm Sepp45). It was assumed he wasn't a Knight's Cross holder, just a wartime photo montage with an EKI.

Gentlemen,

This is one heck of a puzzling photo indeed! Why a WWI Iron Cross Second Class converted to a WWII Knight's Cross? This man was a Oberfeldwebel of the German Police. :?

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao

I just can't make out the signature. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks in advance for any help. I know this man was not an RKT - at least when this photo was taken, but I didn't know where else to place him.
