Hello,
there was an Obgefr. Alders (sorry, i haven't the first name), who was in the I.gruppe of the JG2 (perhaps the 2./JG2) during summer 1944....probably the same pilot as yours....

From the angle the photo is taken it would appear that the aircraft is having the standard cooling slots of the earlier models of the Fw 190 A aircraft (i.e., A-2, A-3 or A-4 (early)), while the supposed location (i.e., Toulouse, Blagnac) and date (i.e., September 1943) would suggest that it belonged to one of the Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppen?
