    Mein Großvater.  Could anyone enlighten me on what the collar insignia means?  I know is that he was conscripted and sent to North Africa, where he was captured by the British and turned over to the Americans.  He has an EK1 and can I correctly assume an EK2, or was the awarding criteria different for WWII?

    The man on the photo is a Leutnant of the Luftwaffe WW2 era , the collar patch bears the rank . silver cord piping for officers , two oak leaves for company officers and one wings for Leutnant . on the shoulders the company officers Shoulder boards in aluminium silver with no pip ,corresponding to a leutnant . I guess that your Grossvater served in Luftwaffe but not as a Flyer
