unknown RKT

1 Attachment(s)

The attached photo is a period color image of a RKT and pilot.

Unfortunately he is not wearing any Spange which might narrow down which branch, i.e. Jagdflieger, Kampfflieger etc. he belonged.

The image I received in a group and it was positioned as being RKT Bernhard Sartor of KG51. I believe this is incorrect since Sartor was a Beobachter and other images of Sartor from this period do not bear a resemblance except possibly for their lack of hair on top.

Perhaps Bruno Stolle??

Your thoughts are welcome.

Cheers

Re: unknown RKT

Hello Jeremy,
His face does not ring any bells but it is definitely not Bruno Stolle. I have quickly gone through Obermaier and I cannot see him there. It is a lovely colour shot however.
Regards,
Andy

Odd he is not wearing the EKII ribbon in the button hole? RK was awarded to him while serving with I./JG3 on 12.8.1941 while an Oberleutnant Staffel-kapitän.
