I don´t know if one of you has recognized this pic of a http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com thread:

The pic, posted on 25.11.2004, is allegedly showing Obst. Heinrich Artur Wiedemann (14.11.1896-23.07.1942). Wiedemann died too young to be promoted to Generals rank, as Cdr. Infanterieregiment (mot.) 11 (14. mot. ID). Before that he was the IIa of the XIV. (mot.) Armeekorps, missing in some sources like Mehner, Vol. I. In WWI he earned the highest award of the Kingdom of Sachsen, the Ritterkreuz of the Militär-Sankt Heinrichs-Orden, as well as the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class, the wound badge in black, and the Albrechts-Orden, Knight´s Cross 2nd class with swords (Kingdom of Sachsen).
Now my question: The pic is showing him with a Ritterkreuz. He is not listed in my Fellgiebel copy. The only explanation is ... that´s not him ... or it is a faked cross ... right? Can anybody deliver an explanation, please?
btw: Note that the Volksbund is delivering a wrong DoD (23.07.1943 instead of 23.07.1942), comparing with the entries at his grave:
Nachname: Wiedemann
Vorname: Heinrich Arthur
Dienstgrad: Oberst
Geburtsdatum: 14.11.1896
Geburtsort: Plauen
Todes-/Vermisstendatum: 23.07.1943
Todesort: Tereschkowo nö.Rshew
