Unknown decorated fighter pilot - please help
 

Gents,

Below a portrait of a fighter pilot. His name is given on the back as Hans-Friedrich STIGLER. I cannot find any information on his unit etc.

One finds loads of information on Franz Stigler but I do not believe them to be the same person (resemblance, rank ...).

Does anybody know this fighter pilot please?

Wouter

Thank you for the suggestion.
I do not think so as he has the figher pilot clasp.
