    Identification of an officer : DKG and Ehrenblattspange

    Text and image posted for Chritof ;-))

    Hello to all,

    I try to identify the officer of the Heer in the center of the photo. It is about a Major holder of the DKG and of the Ehrenblattspange des Heeres.

    The photo was taken in the Andrijevica's / Berane sector (Montenegro) during the operation "Draufgänger" in July, 1944. The other people (Waffen - SS) belong to the division "Skanderbeg".

    The unities of the Heer present in the sector belong mainly : Pz. AOK 2 , 297. Inf. Div., 181. Inf. Div.

    Thank you beforehand and very friendly

    Christof

          All the others are from the SS-Div. "Skanderbeg" (It is sure) and the photo was taken close to the Schmidhuber's PC. Windjacke and tropical Feldmütze are tipical in this division for german personel coming from the "Prinz Eugen".
          All the best
          Chris

            Beautiful and interesting picture !!

            If this Major was awarded with both decorations while he was serving a unit from 181.Inf.-Div. or 297.Inf.-Div. and was an infantry, there is a candidate.
            Franz Eckert was listed on Ehrenblatt dated 25. May 1942 as Oberleutnant of 8.Komapnie/Inf.-Rgt. 524 of 297.ID., and awarded with DKiG dated 29. August 1942 as Hauptmann of II.Bataillon/IR 524.
