Unknown KC holder
Can anyone identify this Stuka Knights Cross holder? Description "Oblt. Skreba" is fake. Thanks in advance!

Re: Unknown KC holder
Possibly Heinz Graber??
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6a/26...cb92f1f21e.jpg Caption for above photo is: Heinz Graber (9 March 1912 - 30 January 1943) RK 19.06.1942 Leutnant (Kr.O.) Staffelführer 7./Stuka-Geschw 2 The left ear seems distinctive and to be the same in both photos. |

Re: Unknown KC holder
As Chris Goss told, there was no KC/RK holder named "Skreba". Graber should be right!
