German Crosses today

[Gary B]

Gary, I didn't say all the awards belonged to Hauptmann Jäger, just the DKiG. Here, look on the link where I found the photos: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/58...albar-madness/

This comes from the Jäger family: Oberleutnant Friedrich Jäger (RKT) and Hauptmann Krafft Jäger (DKiG).

Regards,
Sepp.

Hi Sepp,

The thread in the link you provide states that the awards in the picture, which you also picture in this thread, belong to Jager. My point is the whole assembly in the frame is fake (the medal bars in particular).

While he is a DKiG recipient, I was just pointing out that the awards also pictured next to his picture are not Jagers awards and are a fabrication.

DKiG awarded to Leutnant Jána Režnáka
Slovenské vzdušné zbrane
Awarded the DKiG: October 17th, 1943

Nice front view of the awarded DKiG to Leutnant Režnáka; the image is from a Slovak newsreel. I add this here since I highly doubt we will ever see the original DKiG that belonged to him; so this can be use as a good photo reference.

Thanks Panzer, but I don't own any of these crosses or documents (I wish ). Just my contribution to the forum with photos, nothing else.

Regards,
Sepp.
