OL and PLM recipient ?

[Denis]

Dear "enamel" boyz
A silly question from a "zinky" colleague :
Have a look on the phot o below which is currently on the Weitze's website.
This is a Eichenlaubträger and his rank is seemingly General d. Flieger (or its equivalent). I don't believe this can be an oberst due to the white lapels on his tunic.
There is also another award (supposedly a WWI) and I would believe this is a PLM. But I must be wrong since I can't achieve to find his name.
Can anybody help me in telling what is this award.
For your interest, here are the 11 officers in the short list (i.e. those matching with the following criteria : LW member who was awarded the OL with a rank under or equivalent with Gen. d. Flieger and who ended the war with a rank equivalent or superior to Gen. d. Flieger)

CONRATH PAUL
FIEBIG MARTIN
HEIDRICH RICHARD
MEINDL EUGEN
PFLUGBEIL KURT
PICKERT WOLFGANG
RAMCKE HERMANN-BERNHARD
REIMANN RICHARD
RICHTHOFEN (Frhr. v.) WOLFRAM
SEIDEMANN HANS
STUDENT KURT


Thanks in advance

Hey Denis!

That looks like it was Conrath.


...


MAIS!!!!

1) He did not (nor did any of those others) HAVE a PLM.

2) White lapels were worn only on overcoats and the Fat Hermann double breasted tunics NOT the service tunic

3) His boards have the five side bumps of an Oberst.



Conclusion final:


Someone VERY naughty has been screwing around making a fantasy photo!!!

I can find only two people who meet the criterion of PLM and KCwOaks. They would be Robert Ritter von Griem (not) and Ernst Busch ( cant find a photo to support, plus he was Army not Lufwaffe).
