Unknown KC holder
 

Can anyone identify this Stuka Knights Cross holder? Description "Oblt. Skreba" is fake. Thanks in advance!

How do you know that name 'Skreba' was a fake?

Not listed in the Stuka RK book or Larry & Doug's lists

Possibly Heinz Graber??

Caption for above photo is:

Heinz Graber (9 March 1912 - 30 January 1943) RK 19.06.1942 Leutnant (Kr.O.) Staffelführer 7./Stuka-Geschw 2

The left ear seems distinctive and to be the same in both photos.

Kracker has a Skreba, Maximilian Wilhelm.

As Chris Goss told, there was no KC/RK holder named "Skreba". Graber should be right!
