Rückseite des Bildes: "Kampffliege​r gegen England. (Bild Nr. 3) 'Und so werfen wir!' Zwei aus einer Besatzung, Unteroffizier und Hauptmann. Nachwuchs der eine, Ritterkreuzträger der an​dere, Kommandeur einer Gruppe, seit einer Rußlandverwundung hat er ein steifes Bein. Man erzählt u.a. folgendes von ihm: 'Über England war einmal wied​er Schlechtwetter. Das Rüstungswerk wollte bei Nachtangriffen nicht fallen. Da lässt er sich sein schweres Kampfflugzeug voll Bomben packen, fliegt am​ hellen Tage allein hin und pflanzt bei mörderischer Abwehr im Einzelangriff so lange 'Steckrüben', bis der 'Laden umgefahren' war.' - Der Alte und de​r Junge neben ihm mit dem blonden Schopf, sie sind vom selben verteufelten Holz."Date: 03.05.1944

Banned from google... :lol: It seems he’s not the only one or just too lazy like a few other members I have come across in the past 8-)
Saying that, looking for Greek or Greck won’t give many positive results when his name (as printed on several of the shown documents) is Franz Greeck! Correct spelling to begin with makes a huge difference if wanting to find something without having to look too long.
So, to all (“non-lazy”) who themselves like to search the net I can only say use the facts already present correctly :wink:

Hi, dear friends at FAH.
In my case, after a long time very busy I begin to have time to contribute to this forum and specially to this topic. However, after several years of searching of RKTs "faces" and bios, I am, as this topic, in a theoric dead end or spinning over the same. This is not a surprise. As every resercher of this matter knows, the "hard ones are the hard ones". Those (maybe), five hundred? RK awarded men of whom there is not know photo.
In short, it would be a pleasure for me to share my files about this matter, in order to try to push forward the topic, and of course, to push forward my files. I think that the best could be by name request.
Currently my files contain the pics of 6455 RKTs, that, as I said, are open to all reserchers here.
Best regards to you all from Spain.
