Lt. Reinhold Lork
 

Gentlemen,

I'm trying to find out the identity of the pilot from 2./NAG 2 you can see in the attached image, decorated with the DKiG ( German Cross in Gold ); so far I have come to the - tentative - conclusion that it should be Lt. Reinhold Lork, who originally belonged to 1./NAG2 but was then posted to 2./NAG2, to which he still belonged in early 1945.

So can anybody out there confirm that the attached image does in fact show Reinhold Lork and that he was awarded the DKiG. Any input would be gratefully appreciated.

DeZeng and Stankey do not mention the DKiG:
LORK, Reinhold. (DOB: 26.10.23). 01.12.42 promo to Lt.(Ing.)/A1. 02.05.44 Lt., 1./NAGr. 2.22.03.45 Lt., 2./NAGr. 2 WIA - Bf 109 G-14 (Black 6) hit an obstruction on take-off from Glatz-Komturhof. Credited with one victory.

Gentlemen,
since it didn't work this way round, let's try it the other way - does anybody know a pilot from 2./NAG2, rank Leutnant, decorated with the DKiG and a christian name Reiner, Reinhard, Reinhold or something similar, which let him sign on the verso of the above photo with Reini ?

Any input will be gratefully appreciated.
