Can anybody read the name of this 6/JG132 member?

The card is signed by Fritz Losigkeit but I can read the holder's name.
Thank you

It's Oblt. Wendelin Frhr. von Müllenheim (Frhr. = Freiherr), the commander of 6./JG 132 (01.07.1937 - 31.10.1938 ) and later commander of 3./ ZG 141.

Best wishes
Rasmussen

Outstanding! His full name was von Müllenheim-Rechberg. He took part in the Polish Campaign in a rank of Hauptmann and as Staffelkapitaen of 3./ZG1. He was killed in the afternoon of 2 September 1939, I believe downed by ppor. pil. Stanisław Skalski.
Fran, would it be possible to obtain a better scan, especially of the photo?

Thank you all!
But I have not access to the doc because it's not mine.
I think this pilot had a brother of the few survivors from the battleship Bismark.
