Re: Who is the RK officer?
Far be it for me to claim any expertise in German aircrew and aircraft, but:
a) what aircraft type are they standing under? Bf 110?
b) the man on the left has the Deutsches Kreuz, presumably in Gold
c) the man next to him is holding a bottle (wine or Champaign)
d) the man next to him is the RK holder, I am guessing the pilot
My guess is these three are the crew of a Bf 110 being congratulated for a significant sortie number, or a significant victory total. Earliest possible date would be late 1941 (DKG created Sept 1941 [Wikipedia]), but more likely 1942 or 43.
But I could be wrong. (horrors!)
Enjoy!
Frank.
