Unknown RK holder
Ok, who is this proud Ritterkeurz holder, with what looks like SG Fw-190s behind him?

Re: Unknown RK holder
I don't think it is a Knight's Cross, looks more like a normal EKII. The fact that he is not wearing an EKI make it even more logic to suggest it's an EKII

Re: Unknown RK holder
I would agree looks like the EKII is mounted through the buttonhole I.e. Post award ceremony.
