Looks vaguely like 9/StukaG77 staffel sign. Who was he? In a series of photos, there were two Hungarian officers.

Just a quick note to applaud the fine- and often simply amazing- identification work going on in this thread!

This is from e-pier. Does anyone recognise the RKT with von Kluge?

Hi Alex,

I am not sure if the pic posted by John from Ebay was Albert Ernst.

There were a few pics of him in Franz Kurowski's Panzer Aces. While Kurowski is not exactly known for accuracy, the general awarding Ernst the RK, according to Kurowski, was Reinhardt. In the series of pics on sale on Ebay, the general awarding the RK was not Reinhardt. Furthermore, Ernst earned his RK on 22.01.44. There were many trees in the pic John posted.

Cheers

Here's the pic and it looked like he was an ObLt.

Here is one from eBay. The face is familiar but I can't put a name to it. Does anyone recognise him?

Wilhelm Kohler

Thanks, Herbert. The photos I have of Kohler show him without a hat, so it was more difficult for me to identify him.

Here's a pic with Walter Stein (RK 28.11.43) in the middle, 485 Rgt/263. Div and Wilhlem Kohler (RK 10.12.42) on the right 195 Rgt/78. Sturm-Div. According to Stockert, Kohler lost his lower right leg, stayed in military hospital and studied history at the University of Tübingen until he took up a position with 9. Pz.Div. in mid-1944 and went on to win the EL. This looks like a picture during this period. Who's was the RKT on the left?

Cheers
Freiherr
