Hi stuart! Sorry about my school english...

Fine pics! This are members of the "Sturzkampfgeschwader 77".
pic 1 and 2 shows HELMUT BRUCK, commander of I./St.G.77 and then commodore of St.G.77/ SG 77, holder of the Knights Cross with oak leaves.

Pic 3 is Hauptmann KARL HENZE, same unit, BRUCK´s successor as commander of I./St.G.77 since March 1943. Henze was awarded with the Knights cross with oakleaves, too.

Pic 5 and 6: Shows a Knights Cross awarding of a member from HENZE´s unit I./St.G.77. Probably it is Hauptmann Günther Hitz, one of HENZE´s Staffelkapitäne. HITZ was the leader of 2./St.G.77, Knights cross awarded on 22. November 1943.

Best regards,
bakerman.
