            for sure not the same person. There wasn t 14 years old officers in german army, even not in 1945.

            If you have no unit informations, you have no chance to find this man, sorry.

              I don't think this is the guy of the Artillery cap, this kid was 14 years old, I think he was a Hitler Jugend soldier.

                In the recent German phone book you will find about 28 entries Knigge, all in the area of "Ehmen" today a part of the city of Wolfsburg.
