Trying to Identify This Knight's Cross Holder

[Bill D.]

Well, I realize that this is a LONG shot (like looking for the needle in the haystack), but I thought that I would give it a try.

I'm attempting to identify the Ritterkreuzträger in this photograph. As an Oberfeldwebel he has received:
- Eastern Front Medal;
- Wound Badge, which appears to be a silver example;
- Infantry Assault Badge;
- Iron Cross Second class;
- Iron Cross first Class;
- Close Combat Badge in Bronze; and
- The Knight's Cross.
He does not appear to have received the German Cross in gold.

If anyone has any thoughts on his identity I would be VERY grateful!

Thanks, Guys!

Hi Bill,

I think he is Franz Bredemeyer.

I found this image of Franz Bredemeyer on the net and I have no doubt that you are correct, George!

Thanks VERY much!
