Re: Feldwebel Adolf "Bubi" Spohrer, KG53

Gentlemen,
Happy New Year. Can anyone check if Adolf received any additional/higher awards or decorations as a pilot? My resources are very limited to the public internet and if anyone has a broader library that lists recipients of Ritterkreuzes, etc. it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the photo is all I have to go with to date. He has a bomber clasp that appears to be silver- I am wondering if he ever received a gold. The Luftwaffe crews flew until they were killed, wounded, or physically unable to complete their duties, which makes his surviving the war a remarkable accomplishment.
My thanks to Chris Goss and Thomas in Rotterdam for their correspondence and shared knowledge.
Ed
