I have to make an honest correction in this thread, regarding the last photos of the documents and groupings of Major Harry Uebel , Feldwebel Otto Rüger and Oberfeldwebel Alfons Förderer. Those come from the militaria selling website VirtualGranadier. I took the liberty to remove the watermarks, but the credit go to them.

Regards,
Sepp.

Very nice. According to the written confirmation, stating that the above awards were worn by him during the war, he states, that the TDB and GC were made by a Russian woman during the war. Neat.

DKiG awarded to Oberleutnant Klaus Krueger
6 Staffel/Kampfgeschwader 51

A sad story about this DKiG, awarded to Oberleutnant Krueger and found many years later on the location of the crash site where he died on April 22nd, 1944. Also killed was his Radio/Op: Feldwebel Michael Reichardt.

The photo on the right are some other parts of the aircraft and things of the crew recovered.
