I'm sure I've seen him somewhere and I believe he became an Officer in the Bundeswehr. I'll be posting a few more RKT which require ID help as I'm getting the photos out of cardboard boxes and into albums.

RKT 3 = Hans PestkeComment

Hi
First guy on top seems to read Walter Kirsch. I have no picture of him.
Third guy at the bottom seems to read Heinz.... Pieper. There were two but both were posthumously awarded the RK in 1943. Here it said P....berg(?)1944. Could someone decipher the writing?
Cheers

Thank you
Walter Kirsch seems right.
Pestke also.
Any body any ideas on the RKT+EL?Comment

The Major is Pestke, not the NCO

The middle line in NCO dedication says 'zum Geburtstag 1944'. The way the G is formed looks very like the first letter of the signature. Could his name begin with G rather than P?

Herbert Geiger and Georg Geiger were both awarded the RKT in 1944 and Georg alrady had the Close Combat Clasp. The photos I have of them are not good enough to tell whether either is the NCO.

John, indeed Pestke is the RK+EL Major.
I don't think the NCO is Geiger althoug indeed the first letters are Ge... . That letter in the middle looks like an H. It is the same letter as the first word of the third sentece (herzlich?).
Some more I'm trying to ID:
Here's another RK+EL who made General. Not signature. Conrardy would be my best guess.

Yes, Conrady by the medal bar as well

The NCO is identified on the ABR forum as Gerhard Horn. I never thought a birthday greeting would be signed with the surname first.
