Reason: Degrelle was correctly SS_Standartenführer. The promotion to SS-Brigadeführer d. R. is "Humbug" !

Re: Knight's Cross Holders Photo Database
Here are two homonyms.
Friedrich Staiger
Awarded as Major & Commander of the I./Grenadier-Regiment 185, 23 August 1944
and
Hermann Staiger
Awarded as Oberleutnant & Staffelkapitän of the 7./Jagdgeschwader 51, 16 July 1941
In fact they are very similar. Does anybody know, are they relatives?
