@75, a, 3rd from left (facing camera) is Erich Hoepner
@75, a, may not be Hoepner after all. Sure looks like him but Hoepner was dismissed from the army by Hitler in January or 1942. Anybody else have any thoughts?

Hey Guys, these are my first words in this forum, so hello to everyone.

The Person on that Photo is Adolf Hofmann. Wrong is the date of Death, the correct date is 18.01.1943 South of Lake Ladoga / Russia.
About the second picutre i would say that it's not releated to the first one, as far as i know Adolf Hofmann was never married (the text on that Photo means like "in memory of my bridegroom").

Does anyone have more information about Adolf Hofmann or does anyone have the original photos? I'm asking because of genealogical research of this family member...

In case it's of interest to someone, i have some more informations why he was awarded with the Ritterkreuz:

“Oberleutnant Adolf Hofmann has already distinguished himself as a leader during the fighting in Poland and France while demonstrating personal bravery and intrepidity. During the battles on Crete the swift decisiveness and responsibility of Oberleutnant Hofmann proved to be of great military importance for the combat around the Cretian capital of Chania.

When his battalion landed at the Maleme airfield on the 21.05.1941, Oberleutnant Hofmann took his Kompanie as well as elements of the Fallschirmjäger near the airfield forwards and silenced the direct enemy MG-fire that was being laid on the airfield. The fighting for the assembly area for the attack on Galatas (an attack which would be crucial for the capture of Crete) saw Oberleutnant Hofmann lead at the head of his Kompanie in bitter engagements in the hill positions northwest of Galatas.

Then, during the battle for Chania on the 27.05.1941, Oberleutnant Hofmann decisively intervened in the battle with personal bravery, exemplary performance as well as swift and energetic action, which was critical in ensuring the swift fall of the Cretian capital. In a bold pursuit Oberleutnant Hofmann thrusted ahead with his Kompanie past their attack objective on his own initiative. They carried on into the city itself, broke every attempt at resistance by the population and were able to prevent every attempt at establishing organized resistance by the retreating enemy in the interior of the city.”
