Hello again John,
I don't know what post Richey4Real referred to on page 551, but it's a reply on a post of ttvon it seems, not of Ingo. I checked the pictures of Ruffer and his nose is clearly different from that of Müncheberg. Also the picture Ingo - 12 is not Ruffer. Ruffer has a wide and round nosetop, while Ingo-12 has a sharp pointed nose, so I don't know yet who it is.

Hi Hugo

Thanks for your reply. I believe that the page 551 image is Ruffer because of the two photos below. The man wearing the cap is definitely Ruffer and it appears to me that the vehicle in the background and the floral gift are the same.

Hello John,
I must admit these are strong arguments. I'm still hesitating. I tried to find a photo of the Müncheberg RK-ceremony in the collection of my uncle, but I didn't find it yet. Till then I will have to leave this case open.
Regards, Hugo.
