Hi Ingward

v. Roon had very distinctive ears. I don't think that 470.jpg shows him.

Post 23803: Could the RKT be Franz Schmidt of KG55? It looks a lot like him.

Thanks John, you are right. That could very well be Franz Schmidt of KG 55. Especially the nose and the hair line are very similar...

He looks like Otl. Hans Kornmeyer, but in that case, where is his DKiG?
