Question about RK presentation.

[Jonathan M]

First of all let me say that, unfortunately , this pic is not in my collection but a scan from squadron/signal publications book on Grossdeutschland, a great pictorial source by the way. Ive read of instances of where an EKII was used in leui of a RK but this is the first pic i see of one, if thats the case.

Is this an EKII used being used as a RK? The caption says its of the ceremony to Feldwebel Reidmuller.

Thanks

Great photo. Interesting that Reidmuller doesn't seem to be wearing a DKiG, which would have been a prerequsite to the RK (the Lt on the right is wearing a CCC indicating the photo was taken sometime after Nov 42).

EDIT: gk is correct - my error saying the DKiG was a prerequsite to the RK.

A DKiG was no prerequisite to the RK!
