Havent IDed him either, sadly. It seems he wears the Narvik Shield too, so I wonder if Paul may recognize him?

Nice photo Adam!!!!

I found out today after some research, that the RKT and Narvikschild holder in my photo Is Oberst Arthur Haussels....Kommander of II./GJ-Rgt 139. He died in a hospital in Naples, Italy after being wounded in North Afrika, according to what I read.
If anyone has any extra info, Id be happy to hear it!

Me too Excellent photograph!

Thanks guys.

Interesting about the Spange too, thanks. So he was posthumously promoted to Oberst (didn't know), and looks like he is a Major in this pic, unless there is a pip I cant see. Looking forward to digging into his service a bit more

And Adam....again, that's an awesome photo. Wonder where this pic was taken?

He was awarded the RK on September 30th 1942, my guess would be this pic was taken somewhere on the eastern front

I recently was able to acquire this picture of Major Georg Briel, Knight's Cross winner with an award on his breast pocket that has been identified as
'The Order of the Star of Romania'. No where has any information surfaced that indicated he was awarded this Award. Does anyone have any information about where or when he was awarded this award?
