Members of JG 51 to identify

I'd appreciate help in identifying these JG 51 pilots on the following photos (from my collection)...

The first one is captioned "Bomben-Willi".

The second one, could it be Hauptmann Ernst Wiggers?

Those two photos were both taken in France 1940.

The third one is most probably taken in Russia, and I would guess it's Franz-Josef Beerenbrock...?

Re: Members of JG 51 to identify

First one is Wilhelm "Willi Hachfeld", who flew as fighter-bomber with JG 51 in BoB, hence his nickname "Bomben-Willi" (Ritterkreuz 29.10.1942 with ZG2).
Second one is Hptm. Wiggers, indeed.

Third one is Hptm. Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke (RK 06.08.1941 with JG 53, later EL+Swords, final grade was Oberst).

Wilcke - yes, ok...I probably looked too much in the JG 51 direction.
Thanks a lot ghost for your help, much appreciated!
