Hello,

I yesterday bought this photo on Ebay - does anyone know who that injured KC-holder of GD Div - standing together with two soldiers from Luftwaffe, FlakArt - is? Looks for me a little bit like Major Remer - ears, lips, nose, cheeks....not sure....

Thanks in advance!

Looks more like Thilo Freiherr von Werthern, RK am 08.09.1941, Oberleutnant und Kompaniechef 3./Schützenregiment 394.
