Unkown Knight's Cross Recipient
 

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone identify this Knight's Cross Recipient from this war time signed photograph. I have had this for many years and believe, if I can remember correctly, he was killed toward the end of the war. I am looking to sell the item from my private collection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

David

I have just checked my records, is this pilot Gunter Specht of ZG 26 and JG 11? Many thanks in advance,

He had lost his right eye & the photos I have do not match at all

It is definitely not Specht. He's a full colonel, so that's a good starting point.

It can be a Fallschirmjäger or even a Flak Commander. Sadly no badge shown on the left breast pocket..so we can not have an idea of his Branch Service.

Waffenfarbe would seem to indicate flying personnel

I think its Torsten Christ. Check the autograph on the photo with the dog at the bottom.

Hi Richey,

Thank you very much for the effort. The signature is an absolute match as is the facial resemblance.

Thank you to everyone else for their input. I can now sell it knowing who it is.

Many thanks

David
