Me neither, but that's definitely him. Kepplinger was the first Waffen-SS NCO to win the KC. He afterwards received field commision and became an Ustuf., in 1941 transferred to Wiking - SS-Rgt.Westland and as chief of 10th company received the DKiG in 1942. In 1944 he was as SS-Stubaf. named the commander of SS-Pz.Abt.17.I would never guessed that this said "Kepplinger".
