Re: Identity of Luftwaffe RK holder sought!

Melvin,
I am no expert too, but while looking at the Picture carefully one note two interesting things:
a) The RK-Träger seems to have the EL (Eichenlaub) isn't it? If so, we do have two possible candidates:
1- Hauptmann Erwin Fischer (I do not know if he actually flew over Spain to have been awarded the Spanish Cross with Swords as depicted on the Picture)
2 - Major Emil Badorrek (whose face does not match too much that of your RK-träger, on your Picture).
b) Your man seems to have been awarded the RECON Flying Clasp mission (as both of other F123 airmen are wearing too).

IF he is only wearing the RK (and not the EL as my eyes may have seen wrongly), a possible candidate (from F123) would be:
a) Hptm Haldemar Felgenhauer who wears the Spanish Cross

Humbly yours,
Adriano
