An Eisernekreuz II. Klasse is so far down the food-chain of awards that I know of no way the awardee can be determined without going through the award lists. There must have been 10-million of them awarded over the course of the war. The award lists (not complete) are at BA-MA Freiburg im Breisgau.

To be honest RMR the chances are they all had the EKII.

By the way, as a kid living over at Cranmore a mate of mine had Sgt.Wolley's Hurricane, 601 Sqdn brought down on the 11th July '40, at the bottom of his garden. Had a great time as kids picking up bits of twisted wreckage, exploded ammo etc.

Hi,

You may find more information about the crew and plane in these forums:

Now as told you above, is almost impossible which one of the crew received this EKII.

Good luck,

Douglas
