Re: Knight's Cross Holders Photo Database
Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, I don't think your first pic is of Leyser, although there is a definite resemblance.
1. Leyser was promoted Generalmajor on 1 Feb 1941, received the RK on 18 Sep 1941 - he would have had time to change his collar tabs (unless the RK was added to an older photo, which is not unusual)
2. Your pic shows him wearing the DKiG - he was awarded that only on 14 Apr 1943 by which time he was a General der Infanterie
This of course raises the question - who is he?
Best regards,
VJK
