Leo Etgen will become famous soon enough
Oberleutnant Paul Gildner
Hello John

My photographic identification talents are quite poor but he certainly appears to be Oberleutnant Paul Gildner (42 victories, RK-EL, killed in flying accident 24 February 1943). Note that he was awarded the Ritterkreuz as an Oberfeldwebel as appears in the photographs.

Horrido!

Leo
