KC holder Major Ludwig Klaus

Hi everybody,

just got these photos of KC holder Major Ludwig Klaus this weekend.
Klaus was commanding officer of Pz.Jäg.Abt. 340 and was awarded the RK
October 7th 1944. KIA January 26th 1945.
The portrait card is dedicated to an Inspektor Vogt - I received the photo collection of his widow (he passed away in the late 90ies).
Therefore unfortunately no additional information on the KC-holder.

Enjoy,

weeks before he was KIA in January 1945.
