Hi Sepp,
this is not an officer, it is a NCO, maybe "Oberfeldwebel" or "Hauptfeldwebel".

E. Raeder seems to be wearing a sort of RK pin on his suit. Ideas?
Dönitz is also present in this photo taken in 1957.Comment

well unlike Germany in post war Spain, Blue Division Veterans were allowed to wear their war time medals, eventually some replacement medals for the veterans began to appear, here is a nice example of a 50´s Spanish made EKII along with war time EK´s for comparison:
