Re: Who are the 2 Officers being awarded the RK?
@ Adriano: I have this 3 pics offered at ebay and another one showing both with the Ritterkreuz, some further pics of Schibau and Krüger.
Schibau fought in the Spanish Civil War as a Flak officer, decorated with the "Spanienkreuz in Gold mit Schwertern". He was decorated with the Ritterkreuz for destroying more than 20 russian tanks with his 8,8 Flak near Leningrad in autumn 1941.
Krüger flew several successful night recon missions in his Do 17 over the same area. In the mid 50s he joined the Bundeswehr (German Airforce) and achieved the rank of a generalmajor, served in high international staff positions (retired 1973), last was "General Manager of the NATO Multi-Role Combat Aircraft Development and Production Management Agency (NAMMA)".
