My grandparents were friends with / knew this guy while the Germans were in Kharkov. I've been trying to figure out his identity and I have a belief that it is Hans Neumeier in April 1942, just before the Second Battle of Kharkov. I dunno anything about panzer uniforms, but I saw online that Neumeier got the Ritterkreuz in the 16. Panzer-Division who were stationed in kharkov at the time, any chance you can shed some light into this?
Five Ritterkreuzträger, who served as instructor at the Grenadier-Ersatz-Bataillon 124 and 125 in Trier, posing for the camera in 1944. They were as follow:
1: Johann Biehl (29 January 1917 - 12 March 2017). Ritterkreuz on 30 July 1942 as Feldwebel der Reserve and Zugführer in 2.Kompanie / Infanterie-Regiment 124 / 72.Infanterie-Division,
2: Hans Neumeier (5 February 1917 - 25 April 1990). Ritterkreuz on 6 April 1944 as Feldwebel and Zugführer in 2.Kompanie / Panzergrenadier-Regiment 64 / 16.Panzer-Division
3: Josef Hollekamp (19 August 1920 - 20 December 1992). Ritterkreuz on 23 July 1943 as Obergefreiter and Gruppenführer in 2.Kompanie (Radfahr) / Aufklärungs-Abteilung 36 / 36.Infanterie-Division (motorisiert)
