i have identified the KC holder : ALFRED GRISLAWSKI




The son of a miner, Alfred Grislawski shot down 132 Allied aircraft during World War II, and served with J.G.52, J.Gr.50, J.G.1, and J.G.53. Grislawski flew more than 800 missions, and downed Grislawski began his combat career with J.G.52 in the east. He served with 9. Staffel, rising through the ranks, and acting as wingman to his friend Hermann Graf. In early November 1942 he had a great deal of success, downing Soviet fighters and bombers around Stalingrad. However, his greatest success with J.G.52 came in 1943 over the Caucasus and the Kuban. In June 1943, Hermann Graf had begun to form a new fighter unit in France, J.Gr.50. On 5 August 1943, Alfred Grislawski joined his close friend's unit, and served as Staffelkapitän of 1./J.Gr.50. On 17 August 1943, J.Gr.50 took part in the German response to the Schweinfurt and Regensburg raids by the U.S. VIIIth Bomber Command. Flying a Bf 109 G, Grislawski bagged two four-engined bombers, his first victories in the West. Grislawski downed another bomber with 1./J.Gr.50 in September, and shared victory over a Viermot in October 1943. Grislawski was appointed Staffelkapitän of 1./J.G.1 in October or November 1943. This Staffel was equipped with the Focke-Wulf 190. His first victory with his new unit, and his 113th in total, was scored on 29 November 1943, a B-17. Many more B-17s followed in the next two months. Grislawski downed a total of nine B-17s in the FW 190 with 1./J.G.1. After being wounded on 24 January in his FW 190 A-7/y W.Nr 430 167 'White 1 + ', Hptm. Alfred Grislawski went to the Bf 109-equipped 8./J.G.1, and success continued. He became acting Gruppenkommandeur of III./J.G.1 on 7 June 1944. His next move was to the Bf 109-equipped 11./J.G.53. He finally got his own Gruppe, taking over III./J.G.53, but his tenure was cut short when he was wounded in action on 26 September 1944. A P-38 claimed on that day at 16:54 was his 132nd and final aerial victory.

You can easily find photos of Grislawski RK verleihung on google and compare. I don't think he looks like Grislawski.
