Oberleutnant Georg Claus

Hello Bill

I doubt that the Georg Claus that these decorations were awarded to were the one in the photograph as he was lost in 1940 although admittedly I am not knowledgeable enough about the matter to say so with certainty.

11 November 1940: Oberleutnant Georg Claus (17 victories), Staffelkapitän of 1./JG 51, listed as missing in Bf 109 F-1 (W.Nr. 5635) in aerial combat over sea, crashed in Thames Estuary, 100%

A quick search on www.ww2awards.com produced this result but there is not much more I can add, I am afraid: www.ww2awards.com/person/22424

Horrido!

Leo
