ID This Highly Decorated RK Panzermann?

[Brig]

I've been trying to identify the man in these photos...you'd think it would be easy based on his awards but it's eluding me. German Cross, RK, 3 Tank Destruction Badges, Grossdeutschland. In one image, the one leaning against the wall, he clearly wears a General Assault Badge. In the one where he holds the water bottle, it appears to be a Panzer badge. Perhaps he held both? I thought maybe Franz Bake, but this man is enlisted. Any ideas? Personal photos printed on Agfa paper

Are you sure he's not a reenactor? They somehow don't feel right.

Very strange to see a pic with soldier with RK, German Cross .. with a bottle of hard liquor in his hand.

The bottle could be from "Steinhäger"

I don't know why, but I think the same way...

modern reenactor photo. We've even seen photos with the same background\setting here before here.

It looks to be a re-enactor photo to me as well. Looking at his face...he just doesn't have the look.

Is this OK that the cuff title on the right (!) arm?

Yes, its correct for a GD-cufftitle.

Thanks you for the instruction. I was not firm in this subject.

I got them from dreamlady*2010 on eBay. I noticed she seems to have lots of neat photos...these two above are different sizes. a lot of interesting photos don't seem to be anything uber desirable...hard to read cuff titles, obscurred awards, not what you'd expect in a scam as they don't bring armfuls of cash. anyone here dealt with this seller?

These photographs portray a reactor or a model to produce fake wartime photographs. I have seen these before and others alike.

Contact Ebay and the seller will be halted and you will get your money back.

[Brig]

I'm not sure if the seller does it or not. has lots of photos of different sutff, different sizes and watermarks and these might just be mixed in with their lot. anyone else experiences with this seller?

Fake modern made picture for sure.. just look at the guy

Great job

Good job !

The Panzerman looks like the actor that played Stroop in UPRISING.
