Hi Mark, if you have any more information concerning their pz. vern. abz. you can pm or email me if you want to.
Hauptmann Peter Kiesgen instructing young Hitlerjugend recruits in handling of the panzerfäuste. Kiesgen served as a company commander in the first company, Infanterie Reg. 239 ( 106 Infanteriedivision) when he was awarded with the knights cross on the 5th October 1941. In late -43 Kiesgen became an instructor. The photo was taken in October 43, you can clearly see his five silver pz. vern. abz. The photo is courtesy of Michi.
Best regards/ Daniel

My handwriting below the first picture of Hptm KIESGEN says:
Bannführer KIESGEN, Kdt HJ-Rgt "Frankfurt/Oder"
Bannführer (Hitler-Youth rank similar to Major) KIESGEN, CO of the Hitler-Youth Regiment "Frankfurt/Oder".
MfG Michi

Sorry for my typo:
The official rank was:
HJ-Bannführer
Even in the 1.PzVernBrig "Hitlerjugend" the officer's ranks were of that from the HJ.
eg.: HJ-Stammführe, HJ-Gefolgschaftsführer,..........
MfG Michi

I've updated the list. Most important change is the news that Wolfgang Rust didn't recieve the pz. vern. abz., many thanks to Martin Månsson for revealing this. Also thanks to Mirko B and everyone else that has made contributions.

Thanks for your excellent contributions Ronny and Eric! The person on your picture isn't Rust but Schlepper. Maj. Gustav Walle served in Pz.Jg.Abt. Grossdeutschland and knocked out nine tanks.
