Hi
If my memory serves me, you will find this photo in Angolia's book about badges and insignia. I am not sure and unable to check since I currently do not have my books with me. Maybe another member can confirm ?
This photo shows Generalmajor v. Siegroth who bestows the KC to a Heer officer candidate in March of 1945. This photo comes from the personal files of the awardee, Willi SCHMÜCKLE (KC : 15/03/1945 as Fhj.-Ofw. in 6/FHJ. RGT. 1241).
Hope this helps
Regards
Denis
PS / I suppose that this cuffband was also shown in the very good book written by Gordon williamson and Thomas McGuirl about German Cufftittles in Bender Publishing (sse Bender's site for the exact title).

Hello everyone,
GM von Siegroth was CO of Div 712 until April 2, 1945. He was KIA in Berlin May 4, 1945.
What was he doing at the time he was KIA?

After being replaced as CO by General der Infanterie Theodor Busse on 5 April 1945, von Siegroth remained with 712 Div. After the third breakout attempt from the 'Cauldron' he was pronounced MIA on the 2 May. He was posthumously awarded his Oakleaves on the 9 May 1945.
