Does anyone recognise this KC winner and what is he carrying on his back? Is that a water or food cannister?? Cheers, Torsten.

Hallo,
Amhand dieses Fotos wirds schwer bis unmöglich ihn zu identifizieren. Ich tippe mal auf einen Lt. oder Olt der Infanterie irgendwann nach 1942 (fehlendes Adleremblem am Helm). Wenn du aber die Division wüsstest, dann wäre es denk ich ziemlich einfach, dann müsste man eigentlich nur mit deren Traditionsverband Verbindung aufnehmen (ihre Ritterkreuzträger kennen die alten Herren in der Regel ziemlich genau). -
auf englisch bitte - this is an English forum.....
ThanksComment

Please show me this rule, where can i read it.
when one german helps another german, its absolut ok to speak in our language - my opinion!Comment

Of course! No one could disagree with that. However, 90% or more of the members here do not read conversational German. Even I had some trouble with it and I read German quite well. It is only asked that you use English because many of the members besides Torsten may be interested in what you have to say. For better or worse, English is the common language used on most international forums because it is the most widely read language in use today. Had the Reich prevailed 60-65 years ago, then quite likely German would be the most commonly used language today.Originally posted by PzOffz27 View Post
So, if you feel Revellations and I are off-base (an American idiom meaning wrong) on this, then perhaps a moderator can step in and state the Wehrmacht-Awards policy on which language to use on the forum.

Certainly in Wehrmacht-Awards forums, English is the preferred language. But of course our subject is german and German is the second preferred language in my opinion (not the forum rule - but this is the paper related forum and german language is the key), occasional german messages are no problem even if 90% of the casual readers cannot read it at all.
If a reader is serious he will try to read messages in german using human and machine help. If you are not serious enough about the subject, maybe you can just pass by.Comment

That will be difficult Torsten, not many facial features showing. It is interesting that he won the RK and is now doing KP duty!
See what that got him!
The EK1 clearly seems to be "added" to the photo. Can you see, from the photo, if the wound badge an addition as well?
Looking closer, it looks like all the awards are added to the picture! Is that correct?Comment

Hi Mark, I don't think it was added to the pic, but I think it was highlighted to show it off better...the photo is in a period book from 1942.

From the pic, I think you are right about the RK. The EK1 for looks to me like it was added to the pic. Nothing wrong with it, it was frequently done. Just interesting.Comment

Hi Marc, I thought that it might be impossible to recognise the man from the photo alone...but I was hoping that maybe someone had seen the same photo before somewhere with a caption of the name... well, not giving up hope, yet....
Cheers, Torsten.
