Re: Identity of RK & DKiG holder?

From Air War Italy 1944–45 (Beale, D'Amico, Valentini):
[Reconnaissance] HQ remained at Perugia from November 1943 and into 1944 and the unit — now composed of Stab FAGr. 122, 1.(F)/123, 2.(F)/122 and Westa 26 — was commonly known as "Gruppe Orlowski" after the Major in command … Orlowski was lost flying a Ju 88 in bad weather northeast of Pescara in November 1943, intercepted radio traffic suggesting he had fallen victim to two P-38s.
