Rudolf Buhse Eating in the Feldküche

Balkans, Yugoslavia.- German soldiers standing next to Feldkochherd (field cooker). Eating the soup in the foreground is Oberstleutnant Rudolf Buhse (Kommandeur Infanterie-Regiment 47 / 22.Infanterie-Division). The picture was taken in the summer of 1942 by Kriegsberichter Theodor Scheerer from PK (Propaganda-Kompanie) 690. There is no information about the identity of the DKiGträger (Deutsches Kreuz in Gold recipient) who is standing beside Buhse, but possibly Oberleutnant der Reserve Hans-Joachim Behnke (Chef 1.Kompanie / I.Bataillon / Infanterie-Regiment 47 / 22.Infanterie-Division) who received the DKiG on 21 August 1942, only four days after Buhse received the Ritterkreuz. Maybe this picture was taken after the award ceremony of both officer?
