Help - ID KC & DkiG winners - Tours Oct 1943

[Revellations]

HI all,

Looking for some help to identify two officers in the picture below. The photo was taken at Lehr & Ausb. Stab West in Tours, France in October 1943. This is within months of this unit being raised as a Stug school for units final prep before generally heading off to the Eastern Front.

The first officer is the 2nd from the left - DKiG Winner. Most likely a Stug officer but unsure if he was part of the school or part of a unit passing through or a visitor as part of a delegation. Same day Günther Hoffmann-Schönborn was visiting and these same officers are in that photo....but that one is a bad angle.

The 2nd officer to be identified (middle) is a Knights Cross Winner. Also a Stug Officer? but unsure.

Bonus question - far right is an officer from what country?

Any assistance would be appreciated if I can identify one or all of the officers questioned above.

Thanks in advance

Scott

The officer at far right is Slovakian.

Best wishes,
