Hi, Schuddie. I think it is Friedrich Guggenberger rather than Schnee.

Knight cross carriers visiting a military training camp of the Hitler Youth in Berlin, 1942. On the orders of the Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht, Wilhelm Keitel, during a front holiday 15 Knight cross carriers visit the military training camp of the Hitler Youth in Wirchensee. On the picture you can see Lieutenant Becker and three Hitler Youth members.. Date created: 01/08/1942-31/08/1942
Which Becker is this?

Hi Alif,

22 soldiers named Becker received the Knight's Cross. 17 served in the Heer, but only three had been awarded the Knight's Cross before September 1942. Two were officers at the time, but one was killed at the front in February 1942.

I think with a little data analysis it is easy to find out the name of the person.

Alif you have been analysing the lives of the Knight's Cross recipients for a long time and quite seriously. Please, "Above a certain level let us not sink below a certain level".

Regards,
George

I think, that the KC-holder on the left of Kretschmer is Obersteuermann Petersen of U 99, previous page.
