Hello Adriano,

the text is:
Der vierte Becher von dem brutalen Schnaps, schmeckt nicht mehr gut. Na, die Augen zu und hinter gegoßen, es wird schon keine Alkoholvergiftung geben.

Hello Adriano,

the text in English:
The fourth liquor cup of the brutal schnapps no longer tastes good. Close the eyes and pour down, there will be no alcohol poisoning.

Leo,

My gratitude for clarifying (at least for me who only comprehend some words of German) the full text behind this second shot.

For me, this NCO "looks like" Obfw Erich Patz (http://www.luftwaffe39-45.historia.n...vnum=772)..the hair style, fore front, etc.

It may be possible that Fw Patz may have flown earlier with the 5./SG 2 and later was moved onto the 7th Staffel...but I do not have documents or information to prove that.

My deepest gratitude Leo (and other German members of this Board) to help those who can not decipher the German language with this translation and ALL other translations you have helped me and other members. It is very kind and appreciated.

The mistery about the identity of this airman still remains...

Guess it is NOT Pätz...he was killed on a Ju 87 D-5 (7./StG 2 not SG 2)...so not him, although he looks pretty much like this airman.
