Unidentified JG 51 Aces
Hi guys
Many thanks for your comments. I have not seen too many photographs of Leutnant Anton Hafner in profile but he was serving with the Stabsstaffel of JG 51 when Hauptmann von Eichel-Streiber, the unit's Staffelkapitän, was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 5 April 1944. The trouble with Tanzer is that by most accounts he had been transferred to Jagdabschnittsführer 6 at Priluki on 1 April 1944 so it is doubtful that he would have been photographed at Bobruisk together with von Eichel-Streiber following the latter's awarding of the Ritterkreuz five days later. Hopefully we will be able to identify the Oberfeldwebel at some point as well.
Horrido!
Leo
