Hi Fangio!

It's Stefan Fröhlich - apologies for my error. The Germans use both variations.

Best regards,

Hi Ingo and Fangio,

I agree he was most likely Helmut Bode. I have seen a caption on him as unknown RKT from StuG77. I just didn't make the connection.

Now there are also these pics from EBay showing undoubtly Karl Henze getting the RK. Standing next to him was a Lt who ultimately got the RK as well. Any idea who StuG77_RKT1 was? StuG77_RKT2 was a third pilot from StuG77. Who was he?

Cheers
Freiherr

Hi guys!

Ingo and Freiherr: Helmuth Bode it is. I compared the photo with the one posted in http://www.das-ritterkreuz.de

Hello,

I think on this photo number 1 is Fedor von Bock, number 2 could be Eugen Ritter von Schobert. Can anybody confirm with me.

1 and 2 confirmed , 3 - Otto Hartmann ?? / AHF id

Who could the general with number 3 be? He looks familar to me, but I cant remember his name.

Hi VJK!

Your question to the pic Wöhler??? 22.10.2004

I'm fairly sure that the pic shows Dr.rer.,jur., BOELSEN Hans, GL, 6.3.94-24.10.60.

Best regards

Hi Vienna!

Many thanks for your perseverance - I do believe you are right!

As regards the pics above, I can confirm that pic #2 is indeed Schobert. #1 looks very much like Bock and #3 looks like Otto Hartmann, who commanded the 7. ID in Munich under Bock's Gruppenkommando 3.

Hello VJK,

you could be right, it could be Otto Hartmann. Many thanks for this fast help.

Hello VJK,

I think RKT2 ist Hans-Karl von Scheele.

Hi VJK!

RKT1

I think it's Kurt von Tippelskirch.
