Last try for me. IF photo shows this cross being worn (to make this worth exploring), it appears that the first name is "Hans", the last name begins with "R", he was (at time of photo) a Leutnant in Infantry Replacement Division 152, and (if the insignia with the RK was his) ended up as an Oberleutnant in either a Panzer or Artillery (faded color?) unit. Maybe awarded RK as NCO in some other unit, then promoted? Need an army specialist and a photo technician to figure this out! (And who is Alexey Smirnov - the owner whose name appears on the photos - Russian table tennis champ?)

Originally posted by Leroy View PostGood to know. Perhaps Sepp45 could contact him for more information about this cross (and it would be very interesting to see more of the book, too!).
The Book is nice, but in Russian and is expected to be not very clear for most of the WAF members.

Just interesting to see other books out there which we may not be aware of here in the West. Thanks!
Perhaps Mr. Smirnov may know more of the "story" on this cross. Always a difficult process, to be sure.
On another note, the 935-4 just recently listed on the eMedals site, with the scratched details of Hans von Rohr on the reverse (hard to see as the scratching does not go all the way through the paint) has been sold.
