Can anyone identfy where or when the attached photo was taken or whom might be in the photo with Mölders. The photo was given to a German schoolgirl in 1941

Re: Mölders Photo

In the book he was mentioned as 'oberst Frhr.von Houwald'.It's possible that he was:
Oberstlt.Otto-Friedrich Freiherr von Houwald,commanding officer of Jagdfliegerschule 1.,20.11.1939-15.12.1942
