The seller is selling photos of Bradel, Czernik & Bornschein. I already have some of the photos which show Bradel’s funeral which would have been in the spring while Czernik would have been buried in the Autumn. Both had similar medals. A quick check shows it is not Bradel

The mystery medal is an Italian Order of the Crown.

Vince, Thanks.
So, is a positive identification of "this" burial possible? It is NOT Bradel, according to Chris. The airman was awarded the Italian Order of the Crow + RK + DKiG and Spanish Kreuz. There were a couple of Generals and Stab Officers on the burial as well....Whom it was, the crew had a full Honour burial. A.

I do not see DKiG in this photo. Other photos from this seller shows Bradel’s funeral (which includes DKiG & Narvik Schild). Officer carrying medals in this photo is Hptm-your linked photo he is Oblt. Czernik did not receive the DKiG
