Knight's Cross Holders Identification

[docarchiv]

We talk about "OKH, Stab des Generals der Pioniere und Festungen" and see Oberst Karl Henke and several others. Two unknown KC-holder, 2 DK.holders, one of them with the army's honor clasp. Any ideas?

This is said to be Otto Carius in Greece?
Has he ever been in Greece?

This is said to be Hauptmann Jope! I am not sure!

Foto 262, not Jope!
But looks like HERBERT WITTMANN.

GM Carl Henke taken after March 1944.

Hi,

Foto 263 - 4th man from the left it's Fritz Beigel and 3rd probably Günther Stettin, confirmation for him would be extremely welcome!

Foto 264 - definitely not Carius, look at his great ordenspange. In my view he has some similarities with Helmuth Beukemann.

Best wishes
Ruslan

It certainly looks like Stettin.

There is one more KC-holder in photograph 263! Far right! In 252 could that be Karl Henke too?

[docarchiv]

Unknown! One of tese men is said to be a KC-holder!

Same question!

Hi, just my few guesses:

Foto 215: I'd say it is Bruno Karczewski with Goebbels talking to SS-Obergruppenführer Hans Jüttner.
Foto 216: Between Kortzfleisch and Hogrebe is Arthur Axmann.
Foto 216: I'd say it is Walter Reder.
Foto 221: I'd say Borowietz Willibald with Rudolf Schmundt.
Foto 222: Left is Reichsleiter and SA-Ogpf. Baldur von Schirach and behind I'd say is Gauleiter and NSKK-Ogpf. Emil Stürtz.
Foto 224: Fromm, Kuntze, Schirach, Stürtz, Hellermann and Manteuffel.
Foto 226: Manteuffel, Reichsleiter and SA-Ogpf. Robert Ley, Stürtz (behind), Schirach and Schulte-Heuthaus.
Foto 231: Reichsleiter and SA-Ogpf. Baldur von Schirach on the left with Max Klüver.
Foto 233: From left Stürtz, Ley, Schirach, UnID General, Specht
Foto 234: From left Kuntze, Specht, Manteuffel, Schirach, UnID General, UnID KC holder and Hellermann.
Foto 251: Oaks winner Karl Göbel.
Foto 252: Don't think that in first row is Oaks winner Karl Göbel, I'd agree that KC holder behind is Karl Henke.
Foto 263. I'd too say that KC holders from left are Karl Hanke, Günther Stettin and Fritz Beigel.

Cheers, Lado
