Page 440 - Highly decorated man with SA group - I think we got him! It's Oberst Herbert Böhme, kommandeur of IR 271 and this is ceremony of assignment honorary name "Feldherrnhalle" to this regiment 9.08.1942. Also Herbert Böhme with part of his awards in page 411. :D

Good Christmas day to all!

Page 371 A 1.jpg and page 375 Seite 191 identified as Leonhard von Moellendorff - This is the same man, but he is not von Moellendorff, because von Moellendorf receive his RK posthumously in rank Rittmeister and our man Leutnant with real cross.

I'm sorry if this have been posted before, but I've search the name "Borchers" and looking at the last 30 pages of this thread without result. Is this really Walter Borchers? In this pic dated October 1943 ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File: ... mweste.jpg ) he already wearing Ritterkreuz, while http://www.das-ritterkreuz.de/index_sea ... d=borchers gives the award date as 27 July 1944!
