Gentlemen,

Do you have any information of the military career of Kurt Turke who was awarded the German Cross in Gold on September 20,1943 while as a Hauptmann of Stu.Gesch.Abt.904? The u of Turke should have two dots on top. He was killed in action in 1944 as an Oberstlt. Maybe recommended for the Knight's Cross.

Gentlemen,

Kurt Turke was awarded the Ehrenblattspange des Heeres (Honor Roll Clasp of the Army) on September 15,1944 after his death.
Got that information from "Trances of War-German Cross in Gold Section".
