Hi!

Fellow member niloc has had problems attaching pics for identification and has asked me to post these on his behalf. Pic "img109" has written on the reverse: "Ritterkreuzträger des Heeres. Russland 42".

Regards,

VJK

Sammeljunge's pic on page 180 labeled 45.jpig: top pic with three officers in front of tent -- RKT was Wolfgang Fischer, later general. This was on the back of the pic when it was offered on Ebay. Blurred but recognizable.

Two Luftwaffe RK holders. Major on 10.jpg looks like Priller, but I'm not sure.
