Hallo Freiherr,freiherr wrote:It's a processio of sorts although Speer did not seem to be just bestowed an RK.
Here we see Speer, Heer officer, Dietrich, Wolff (left), x (right), Galland (left), y (right), Kriegsmarine RKT (left), z (right), and four more bunched up towards the back.
Can anyone shed light on any of these?
Cheers
Freiherr
here is the complete pic from 05.06.1943 in Berlin. It shows the new holders of the Knights Cross of the War Merit Cross taking the salute.
You see from left to right:
unknown officer, Betriebsleiter Albin Sawatzki with Generaloberst Heinz Guderian, unknown officer of Wachregiment "Großdeutschland", Obermeister Johannes Holtmeyer with Sepp Dietrich, OT-Obertruppführer Joseph Hinkerode (KC KVK with swords) with Generalleutnant Ludwig Wolff, Flugwaffen-Facharbeiter Karl Schmidt with Generalmajor Adolf Galland, Obermeister in einem Treibstoffwerk Christian Davidshöfer with Korvettenkapitän Heinrich Liebe.
The next pic shows Sawatzki with Guderian (same day).
Cheers
Oberstab

Sorry VJK,VJK wrote:Hi Oberstab!
Please forgive my ignorance, but it is over 35 years since I studied Latin and about the only thing I remember from then is the following:
Latin is a language,
as dead as dead can be,
It killed the ancient Romans,
and now it's killing me!![]()
