    Identification of Lw Knight's Cross holder


    Recommended Posts

    Because I cannot find any specific topic about identification of unknown photos of KC holders, I will put mine here and rely on the moderator to correct it, if necessary.

    I have this portrait of a (yet) unidentified Lw Lieutenant. On the lapel he wears a small badge depicting the Infantry Sturmabzeichen (could this be a Squadron badge, or is is just a Spendenabzeichen?). Can any one identify this man, please?

    I'm no good at identifying people but if the IAB lapel pin is a staffel badge then it would indicate that he is a ground attack pilot. I know that some aircraft of SchG 2 used that insignia on their Hs-129 aircraft in mid-1942 and their are pleny of photos of Hs-123 aircraft from earlier in the war also showing that insignia.
