Just to fill in on some info of Hubertus Baron von Holtey. He was a very close childhood friend of my grandfather, Wolfgang Thimmig of NJG 1, NJG 2 and NJG 4, and they grew up doing a lot of hunting together. I know he survived the war and that he and my grandfather were friends their entire lives but not much else.
I have a photo of him I will add!

Best regards

Max

Wow, that's very nice! Thank you for sharing :)
I would love to see the picture of him!

Max,

Does the photo show v. Holtey during the 1940 time, or sometime before or after the war?

Regards,

Thimmig

Unfortunately, I don't really know when it is taken, but I suppose it is during the war. Don't know what year though, sorry about that.

von Holtey photograph

This photo shows Joachim Müncheberg on a visit to Ergänzungsgruppe JG 26 at Cognac shortly before he left for Sicily in early 1941. Note the ex-9./JG 26 Bf 109 behind the men.
