A close up Christophe

Very nice photo Here is another one. Have a look Christophe

Thanks Rick for the info. First time I see this photo I thought he belonged to IR Nr. 105. But after reading Saxon rolls, I found only 45 officers name who received the SH3. No one with Rolf and I found one name ; Kurt Renner. That's all. About the second unknown name here is the photo :

I have somewhere one photo of him just after receiving the Pour le M?rite. I need to find it and post it here. Christophe

Here is Nerger with the big medal bar. Very impressive indeed ! Christophe

In the Saxon rolls, I have found only three Rolf : Rolf Bauer from Fuss AR Nr. 19 Rolf von Seydewitz from Gr 100 Rolf Henning from IR Nr. 181 I'm still looking through the Saxon rolls Regards Christophe
