    Ritterkreuz and plane/unit identification

    I bought a big Luftwaffe soldbuch grouping, in the grouping are also 321 pictures, including some nice Ritterkreuz photo´s.
    I got to much to post all of them here right now.

    Below are 3 photo´s of the same serie (total of 8), i would like some help identifying the RTK wearers and maybe the unit.

    I'm collecting anything related to the towns Castricum and Bakkum during WWII.
    Also soldbucher from 116pzdiv. And 1944-1945 eastfront pockets, kampfgruppe and Oder front.

      Hmmm... "plane accidentally lands in the 16th century".

      Say, in the first picture is that an Me-108, with the side by side seating? I didn't think there were all too many of those in military service.

          Thanks Ian, that fits perfectly!

          Viktor Bauer and Eberhard von Boremskiwas were both in Jagdgruppe Ost (later EJG 1).
          The soldier of my soldbuch grouping was also in these units.

          Randy, specially for you i´ll post another photo of the serie

            In the background is a covered Fw 190, but I believe the plane in the foreground is indeed a Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun. During the war they were used for liaison and personnel transport... so these photos might have been a 'welcoming party' for an arriving officer who came in the Taifun.
            The short guy with the Ritterkreuz in the leather flying jacket is the one who looks like he just arrived.

            for comparison:

              Randy, thanks for your help!
              Good observation, as i know nothing about planes i just thought it was a normal fighter plane

              You are right, here are 2 more photo´s of the serie.
              In the first you see him getting out of the plane, like you said.
              In the seccond you see him getting flowers, a nice welcome!
              Also, i marked the guy (H.J. Reinke) of my soldbuch grouping with an arrow.

                Cute window curtains on the plane! Maybe it was commandeered by the Luftwaffe from civilian use.

                The "period photo", the first one that I shared, has the same kind of window curtains.

                        By the way, is this the same ritterkreuz guy as above (Viktor Bauer)?
                        And who is the high ranking officer? (also wearing an ritterkreuz).

                            @ Lado

                            Congrats, Lado. You are definitely right. Oberfeldwebel Waldemar Teige receives the KC on June, 7th, 1942 in Korowje Sselo, SU from General der Flieger Alfred Keller. I have pictures from exactly this ceremony im my collection as well... BTW - Victor Bauer hold the rank of Oberleutnant when he was awarded with the KC.

                              KELLER - that's it! I knew I'd seen that face before. I think I have a studio postcard of him somewhere.
