Knight's Cross Holders Identification
Hi Freiherr!Freiherr wrote:Hi Fangio,
It's not Anton Otto Frank, as there is photo of him with DKiG without RT. As to the other two, Erich was from GrRgt 116 and Otto Frank was from GrRgt 278. What's the connetion with Heinz Unger, SchutzRgt 10?
Cheers
Freiherr
That was my thought, no connection with Heinz Unger since he's from SchutzRgt 10 but "Mogdala" wrote in his post that these men were "Hptm Frank and Mj Unger". Maybe they knew each other? Could it be Mj Otto Frank? "Mogadala" wrote Hptm and not Hptm d Res so maybe it's not Mj d Res Erich Frank, but I may be wrong.
Well, who could this Frank be???

FANGIO

All 19 Pz:
One pic shows Gustav Schmidt ( I think ) awarding RK to ObstLt Gustav Adolf Bruns on 15.10.42. -- So not the same RKT in second pic. What does the second pic show? Hans Källner awarding RK to a Mj. Was it Mj Alfred Nähring or Mj Walter Mecke?
das-ritterkreuz.de has a pic of Nähring

Is this the same person?
I have him as Freyer in both cases but they seem different to me. I may be wrong though.
