OK, thanks a lot Krollspell.Doctor Krollspell wrote:Hello Fangio!
The same photograph is in Jost W. Schneider's "Their Honor was Loyalty! - An Illustrated and Documentary History of the Knight's Cross holders of the Waffen-SS and Police 1940-1945" (2nd ed. 1993), and he identifies the RKT as Gerd Pleiss.

Are you really sure Daniel? You can, very vaguely, see something on his left breast pocket but shouldn't this Spieß at least be sporting some Iron Crosses, 1st and 2nd Class in that case? Maybe some other decorations? After all, the DKiG was a prestigeous award and this Man ought to have other "lesser" decorations as well?
