Hi Tommy,
I think that your KC holder photograph is of Alfred Jarosch. He was a Lt. and Fhr. 8./Jäg.Rgt.38. KC on 24.9.42. This is my best guess, but it sure looks like him. Hope this is of some help.
Regards,
Dick
Yes that is Alfred Jarosch RKT. Born 10.10.1915 in Skrebenski-Golkowitz, Oberschlesien
Died 30.08.2001 in Wilhelmsfeld

Thanks for your answers. But i need some infos about him is he/ was he a famous horse man (reiter) ? I have a Photo Album with many horse and 3-4 Photos with him he wears the KC.
Tommy,
Your most welcome for the help. That's the great thing about the forum - help is here. All I can add concerning Herr Jarosch is that he was wounded during the course of the war and lost a leg. He was a very nice gentleman and had a great sense of humor.
Regards,
Dick

Can someone Help is this the same guy on the Horse? I can not identificate people via face.
I found this forum by googeling the name of my uncle "mikosch", vulgo Alfred Jarosch. even if none of the pictures look like him, I will show them to his wife, she lives about 10 miles from my hometown, heidelberg, maybe she cann tell us more ... beside of that, it might be of interest , that his two grandchildren stay in his tradition: he studied rocket science and she was the youngest (female?) pilot in sweden ever!
and some personal notes: yes, he was a great guy! strong, passionate and with a great sense of humor. when I was young, he discussed questions of life, war and politics all night long with my brother and me, mostly until dawn and pretty controversially. but even when we all had a different conception of the world, he never became angry, furiously or intolerant. we had different opinions, but he always showed great respect for others and looked behind the surface of things. guess, it had a lot to do with his hunger for life, his informal nature and a little bit with his drinking firmness, prost!
Legendarily in our youth and throughout the family was his mental and physical strength. after so many war injuries and lethal diseases later in his life - this was remarkable, chapeu! das holz, aus dem helden geschnitzt sind ...
hi gents,
as promised, I talked to my aunt Erika, the wife of Alfred Jarosch, and showed her the man on the horse. Within two seconds she said: "He looks like Dr. DR. (Hans ?) Derichsweiler". Mission accomplished :-)
