Schuddie,
your first pic was blurred - would mean that the picture is definitely bad and should be retaken.
BTW: Please mark your pics in future with a set of letters or number-combination for recognition

Hello Denis,Denis wrote:Hi again,
I have looked for the unknown KC holder. I f we assume that the following points are true :
- he was awarded the RK as a member of the Pz. Gre. Div. "GD"
- he was awarded the RK before 20/07/44
- he was not posthumously awarded the KC
- his rank when he was awarded the KC was inferior or equal to Obefeldwebel/Oberwachtmeister
Then we have a short list of 5 recipients :
- Hans Hindelang
- Wilhelm Kessel
- Hans Klem
- Leopold Poschusta
- Wilhelm Wegner
I have only photos from Hindelang, Kessel and Klem and among those ones, Kessel is the soldier who is the closest with the unID'd RKT. Should anybody have a pic for Poschusta and Wegner, feel free to post it !
Regards
Denis
I'm replying on your post on page 11 about the unknown RKT in picture 1.jpg together with Fromm. In the photo database on page 137 there's an not so good picture of Poschusta, but to me it looks very much like him, what do you think, could it be him?
Greetings,
Hugo.
