Hi Karl, Martin Månsson has already correctly identified him as Werner Wolff.

Thanks Daniel.

Hi Kocjo, I have only gone through 1/4 of EK winners and the only faint resemblance I could find looking like X6 are Gen Walter Heiz and GenMj Walter Ludwig Kirschner. Hans had some photos of Kirschner maybe he could confirm I am wrong wrt the latter.

Meanwhile, I found these from the Panzertruppen website. Who are they? In the 23 Pz Pic, they are supposed to be from PzAufklAbt 23. ObLt on left was Horst Hain. Lt on right was unidentified.

Cheers
Freiherr

I'm quite certain it is Berger.

Can anyone identify these two knight's cross holders?
