I also checked the name Klein, but none of the bunch seem to match as our guy. I'll keep searching. Tom
Thank again

Originally posted by Sepp45 View PostWooow, great eye Tom! You are right, it's the Spanish Cross (in gold?). So, we now can say that it's a wartime photo, with a Ritterkreuzträger who also won the DKiG, the SC and that EKII on his Medal Bar.. is from WWI? He seems kind of old to be a "fighter pilot" or any kind of pilot in the luftwaffe. A Commanding officer, maybe?
Thank again

Originally posted by Tom B View PostYes Sepp I think this is a wartime photo. The Spainish Medal I believe is actually a Spainish Medal given to Germans for service in the civil war. You are also correct about his age...too old to be anything other than a commander of some sort. I can't think of the name of that Spainish medal, but many Germans were awarded them by the Franco Gov. Werner Molders was one.
