Any thoughts please on these four Knight's Cross winners? Would the LW one be Hermann Graf? Thanks!

2nd photo: RK-award ceremony for Otl. Siegfried Grotheer, with GenLt. Carl-Hans Becker.
3rd photo: considering the awards and their configuration, I would say not Graf, but rather Hptm. Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer?

Hugo.

Regarding #21801 I agree with Hugo: The photo depicts definitely Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer. Btw one can clearly identify the nightfighter clasp so Hermann Graf with his very special physiognomy ;-) is definitely no option.

Thank you Hugo and Schuddie - I think I recognise the Flugplatz Sint-Truiden cemetery (NJG1), so Schnaufer definitely makes sense.
