Hi Fangio!

It's JOACHIM Neumann - on the photo you can just make out his unit I./PzArtRgt 103.

Best regards,

Wow, how could you read that? Good eye VJK, many thanks for the ID.
What about this one? G. Riedel. I can only find a Gerd Riedel but his from the LW not Heer. Who's he then?

Hi Alex!
Yes, that's what I thought, but isn't Gerd Riedel a Luftwaffe officer?, this mans is in Heer uniform. :?
According to this link he was a FJ (Führer FschJägRgt 7) and received the RK on 08.05.1945 (unofficial?)=

Maybe he was in the Heer first and then transferred to LW?

Best,
