Knight's Cross Holders Identification

[GWorldmann]

Hello! is it a knight's cross or an EK II photomontage? Who received the knight's cross before February 1940? What form of troops? Judging by the signature, he is from Austria. Could he be awarded posthumously?



Write text:"Meiner kleinen Freundin Hedi als Dank! Leoben, Feber 1940 [signed]"
"To my little friend* Hedi as a thanks! Leoben, February 1940"
*) female form
Leoben is a city in Austria. Feber is Austrian dialect for Februar.

One and only Leutnant who received RK before Westfeldzug was Josef Stolz and it's definitely not him.

I am not sure about that. Compered to photos of Helmut Wagner I know, to me he doesn't look alike.
Do you have some photos to compare?

Any ideas regarding the identification of this WH officer?

Yes, indeed, you are right, I was wrong. This is not Wagner, but I have a photo and a Knight's Cross recipient (page 1284 @6) and his name, you just need to find it in the archive. I spent about 5 hours searching for a photo of Helmut Wagner!

A little help if possible.
Traveling through old posts I have found an error that persists in my files and that was clarified in a post (sorry, but I can't find it).
Pic 1. comes from the "late" das-ritterkreuz. Kurt Deichen (Pz.Aufkl.Abt.3).
Pic 2. from "Scherzer". Eduard "Charly" Kraus (Pz.Gr.Rg.14).
Eduard Kraus in both cases 99%.
I would be very grateful if someone could contribute a photo of Kurt Deichen.
Thank's a lot in any case, and happy new year to all of you.

Both ID's from das-ritterkreuz and Scherzer are correct. Just compare the ears.

Thank's a lot, Hugo, CSI style
