My earliest Honor Goblet is

Heinz Leesmann was the first Knight Cross Holder of the Jagdgeschwader 52.

Wow, really great Goblets out there. Congrats to you all
Thanks for sharing infos and pictures on early ones.
So many of them dated October 1940. Nice!

I read on internet: "The first airman to receive the goblet was Johann Schalk on 21 August 1940"
- is this info really true ??
