We will have to believe you, because we can not see their faces.

I don't want all the photographs to be copied. If you need evidence, please tell me! My idea to tell the names is, that the units may help! Sorry! The interesting matter are the names of DKiG-holders. The (low) number of identifications shows, that there is a neclected part of history. We talk about brave nameless men, compared with the KC-holders, who often needed just one performance to de decorated!!

Continuation!
Concerning Foto 186 g: There are 2 Budenbenders receiving the DKiG.

Hermann Budenbender, DKiG am 07.02.1943 als Rittmeister und Kommandeur (?) der schnellen Abteilung 178
Paul Budenbender, DKiG am 06.11.1942 als Oberleutnant d. R. und Batteriechef (?) der 3./AR 3 (mot.)

I think our man is the first one!

Kind regards

Both identifications from Klaus J. Peter’s book, vol.2 of the unit history.
