CRBeery Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hello, This tag is inside a Majors uniform. It should be easy to read but I just can’t make it out. I get Reudez but that doesn’t seem very German. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hucks216 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Of the handful of Reuter's listed, the closest to match in terms of arm of service is a Hauptmann Reuter serving in Infanterie-Rgt 116 but that is most probably Erich Reuter who won the DKiG as a Major in February 1942, RK as an Oberstleutnant in August 1942 and the Oakleaves in January 1945 as a Generalmajor while always serving as an infantry officer and not panzergrenadier.
