Hello Daniel,

You are right. The NCO on the Weddingpicture is not Alfred Simm.
I've seen an other picture where this Hauptfeldwebel wear the EK I and II, Ostmedaille, Verwundetenabz. Silber and
Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze.

Greetings

Legionair.

Hello,

Fangio, you RK man it's Reinhold Eckardt.

Legionair, from left to right: Reinhard Kollak, Josef Kammhuber, Walter Ehle and DKiG holder general it's probably Kurt - Bertram von Döring commander of 3. Jagd-Division. Another shot of this ceremony you may see on page 248.

Best wishes

Hello Adalberto!

Your last photo of the Luftwaffe Oberleutnant must be Friedrich Schäfer (if I read the text on the photo right). He received the RK on 24.10.1944 as an "Olt, Fhr. einer KGr. der II./KG 200 (LL-Einsatz gegen die Résistance auf dem Vercors-Hochplateau sw von Grenoble/Frankreich", Source; Scherzer (2005).

This old Fallschirmjäger (note Fallschirmschützen-Abzeichen) received the DKiG on 09.04.1942 as a Feldwebel in the 4./Luftlande-Stu.Rgt. 1.


Regards,

Krollspell
