Re: Who is this KnightsCross Holder
Hi Stefan
He is Ofw Alexander Uhlig. Fallschirmjager won RK 29.10.44 with 16./Fsch.Jag.Rgt.6 for action at Carentan. He was captured in July '44 and held in the US and England. He was actually the only German to escape from the UK - Camp 23 Subury, albeit after the end of hostilities. Bryan |

Re: Who is this KnightsCross Holder
I do not know if it is the case here, but sometimes a KC was "incorporated" on recievers, also after their death or capture. I have seen it in some of my "ADLER" magazines.
Best wishes Christian

Nick: Look at the clarity of the RK compared to the lack of clarity of his photo
