Two more pics from Bundesarchiv.
The man on second photo is described as Willi Kroymanns, but I haven't found this name in RK list. What's the matter?

Willi Kroymanns is an impostor never awarded with the KC, even the honorable Bundesarchiv has been hornswoggled by this beguiler !!

Ruslan,

your previous id of the Lw Bordfunker I have placed on the confirmation list like that :
Award ceremony, Bordfunker SG 5 : left to right : / AHF id : Erich Morgenstern - ? Erwin-Peter Diekwisch or Martin Möbus ? - Hans Trummer

It is connected to the pics of that ceremony we had already :
Award ceremony for two Bordfunker from I./SG 5 : Johann Hans Trummer (l) - Erich Morgenstern (r), presented by Gen. Kammhuber ; commanding officer : Major Martin Möbus ?

The commanding officer was added by me - without certainty. So, last question here : Diekwisch or Möbus. Möbus was Gruppenkommandeur I./SG 5 at that time, if I'm correct.

Major with signature...?

[Bernd R]

There weren't objections to confirmation requests of rather secure ids and therefore Johannes Lutter, Günter Tonne, Walter von Wietersheim and Bernhard Klemz have been crossed out there and placed on the index.

Thanks, dear colleagues, for id work on older reqests ; all done
Terry - p169 Albert Spieth confirmation / p262 Alexander Holle
Chris44 - p232 Johannes Mücke
Someone from Kharkov - p222 Franz Pöschl (great pic btw)

except one, I'm not convinced and would like to re-ask : page 262 : Bild 133.jpg
Hans Bayer for sure ?
Very late award for this Staffelkapitän 3.(F)/33 -> 01.05.1945 , in action during late war period over Hungary. Last rank Hauptmann - but the pic shows a Major ! (if I'm correct).

AlifRafikKhan,

the Major you requested above was requested already in this thread. No id yet.
The source you give -> AHF start page, is totally unsufficient !

[AlifRafikKhan]

Sorry, Bernd. I don't remember the exact page, but I know its from Axis History Forum... I take it on my harddisk.

It's definitely Erwin-Peter Diekwisch. 100% guarantee. The reasons are:
1)Möbus was Major already at the depicted moment;
2) He received EL a month earlier.
