Hello Ruslan et al!

Heinz Schweizer was one of the very few Feuerwerker who recieved the RK for working with Bomb disposal of Blindgänger bombs. He was a Hauptmann (W) (Kr.O.) when he recieved the RK on 28.06.1943 while commanding Spreng-Kommando d. LW I/VI in Ratingen/Düsseldorf.

Thanks for the IDs John!
How about these ones? A KM ( http://sammler.ru ) and a Waffen-SS ( http://eestileegion.com ).

Hello Fangio!

The SS-Sturmbannführer is Ludwig Spindler, who recieved the RK on 27.09.1944 while commanding I./SS-Pz.Artillerie-Rgt. 9 (9. SS-Paz.Div. "Hohenstaufen") during the battle for Arnhem.

Many thanks for your reply Freiherr. Was Richthofen Kmdr of VIII.Fliegerkorps by that time?
Best,

Hard to say. Müller RKT 5.42, Richthofen Kmdr VIII Fl Copr before june 42 and Kmdr LuftFl4 after that. KG 76 moved with Richthofen, I think.

There is only so much you can retain in your head. Some Luftwaffe expert can coreect me.

Cheers
Freiherr
