I think it might be Otto Deßloch.

Another view... the same pic:

Left to right: Ruoff, Zeitzler, von Kleist, Kempf, Dessloch und Hollidt.

Now, I would say he is Dessloch.

Cheers.

Thank you AlifRafikKhan for your help on post 8436 (Wilhelm Knauth).

John Toner:
Could the NCO posted by Fangio in 8436 be Anton Wildner? I have one unclear image of Wildner and it looks a bit similar.
Could somebody confirm what John said in a previous post. I´m posting the image again just in case:

I would also say it is Anton Wildner.

Have a look in the book of Florian Berger "Ritterkreuzträger aus Österreich und den k.u.k. Kronländern".

Have to put some doubts about old cases at page 224, posts 3346-3347.

1) Pics 3284302.jpg & 3284306.jpg both depict not Carl-Heinz Greve, but Robert Kowalewski.
2) Pics Front.jpg & Back.jpg supposedly depict Kurt Knappe. But inscription on the back is made obviously with marker pen, which began to be popular in 1950s, while Knappe was killed in 1943.

HI,
Who are the 2 RKTs with Rudolf Schmundt in 1943?
Thanks!
