Help with LW Officer RKT Identification

[Allectus]

Hello all, I have a few pictures here of some Luftwaffe guys with the RK that I was hoping some of you might be able to help me identify. I have tried my best but so far these have stumped me. Any help would greatly be appreciated! Also, if anyone has any information on any of the Generals or other officers in the picture I would really appreciate any help with that as well.

1. Does anyone know what those other "wings" are that he is wearing above his left pocket? I have seen this a few times in photographs but have no idea what it is for???
2.
3. I believe the guy on the right to be August Geiger but I am not sure about the one on the left or any of the Generals.

4. From what little information I have, these images took place in Budapest in 1944 and the man in the overcoat is General Dessloch. Does anyone know who the other General is?





5. Flak officer with Unknown General??



6.
7. I believe this guy to be either Paul Lehmann or Wilhelm Fahlbusch but I am not exactly sure.
8. Hospital Photo. I am not sure if this is an officer or not but he is standing with General Chamier-Glisczinski. Does anyone know if RK's were awarded to men while they were in the hospitial or did they wait until the soldier was well enough for a parade?

No2 is FW Ihrig 3/KG3. The back of the photo said the RK verleihung was from Kesselring

No8 was also from KG3. ObFwb Hans Wilhelm Bender, this time from kmdr KG 3 then Obst Chamier Glisczski. Not uncommon to see RK verleihung in hospital. Auction Factory.de recently sold a big batch of Peltz awarding a RK in a hospital for instance.

General in No5 was GenMj Richard Reimann, so between 20.4.41 to 3.4.43 when he won RK himself, Must be RK winner under I Flak Corp or 18 Flak Div

Other RKT with Geiger in No3 was Hptrm Lütje, both NJG 1 under XII Fl Korps commanded by Kammhuber -- as Alex pointed out, man on ex left

No1 is ObLt Michael Fischer Chef 1/FlakRgt 14. Ignore Das-Ritterkreuz.de. He is wrong -- pic he posted was Erich Karl Fischer. Interesting that a Flak officer had pilot wings. It was only 1943. The LW still had a lot of aeroplanes around.

I am guessing the other general in No3 could well be the very ellusive GenLt Hans Bertram v Doering. Only one lousy pic so far. He was in June 43 Kmdr of JagdDiv 1, itself converted from NachJagdDiv 1 in 4.42 and based out of Holland. Certain not the other three JagdDiv kmdrs under Kammhuber: Huth, Schwabedissen or Junck. v Doering was certainly entitled to a Geshwader armband of Richtofen and Horst Wessel.
