    EK Ceremony - But Where?

    This image is from a series of pictures recording an EK2 award ceremony. Specifically, the ceremony shows four NCOs and two officers receiving the EK2. For a number of reasons, the series appears to be a record of an early war ceremony.

    I'm hoping to get an idea of the subject unit. In one of the pictures an officer is seen wearing a Legion Condor cuff title, so I'm wondering if the unit could be one of KG 53, Flak Rgt. 9, or Luftnachrichten-Regiment 3, all of which were given the LC name to commemorate the men who served in the Spanish Civil War. I have tried to search for images of the various cities in which these units were stationed - I was really concentrating on Flak Rgt. 9 as the recipients seem to be flak personnel. Can anyone give a hint of where these pics were taken by looking at the building in the background in the photo below? The lion on the left certainly reminds me of something Bavarian.

    It could be in a castle of Württemberg because there are the elements of the coat of arms

    of the former kingdom of Württemberg (lion and deer).

        Awesome. Thanks, guys. The closest unit I can think of is II./KG53 which was formed in Schwäbisch Hall, just to the northeast of Stuttgart. So, this is likely a very early ceremony to men who had just returned from Poland based on the other pics in the group. I will try and find out more and follow up. Thanks again.
