[Edelweisse]

Hi,

I purchased this years ago and I can't find out who this Heer NCO is..I can't make out the shoulder brd numbers but he has the Close Combat bar, EKI, EKII, Russian Front, General Assault Badge and Wound badge...

I hope someone out there knows. Thanks for your help!!!

Reserve has a stamp.."Photogr..Innun..." "Photo-Sparr Cuxhaven Mittelstr. 2"
"Handwerk-Lichtbild"

Hi,

Arthur Lühr RK:10.02.1945 Owm., 6/AR 225

I think it might be Lorenz Harthan.

Hi John and Gerdan,

Lorenz Harthan DKiG: 26.9.1942

I can't see him wearing DKiG in the photo.
The shape of his ears is different.

Hi Thanks for your SUPER FAST research....after you provided me the two names....Arthur Luhr, 6/225 AR and Lorenz Harthan, 5th PZ AufKlAbt 11...it appears that Arthur Luhr is the man...

#1 The photo "sure looks" like Harthan BUT...I have to agree with George "different ears". My daughter said the same thing. ;-)

#2 Number "225" looks like that's what is on his shoulder boards

#3 Arthur Luhr died in Cuxhaven...and on the back of the photo is "Cuxhaven"

I could be wrong...BUT.... COMMENTS???
