Re: Who is the highranking Lw-Officer?
Byron,
I was checking the LW Bomber Pilots RK list and found a picture which looks very similar to that of your airman:
Major Gerhard Kollewe, Kommandeur II.(K)/LG 1, who was awarded the Eichenlaub on the 12th August 1942.
Maybe...maybe he went to the award cerimony with a KG 100 machine...I saw a picture of Major Walter Nowotny flying aboard a similar Heinkel He 111 (from another Squadron, obviously) going back to the Eastern Front, after being awarded the Diamonds...(a famous picture indeed, with Nowotny on the nose of the Heinkel).
Enclosed a close look at Major Kollewe (which looks very similar indeed to your airman).
Yours
Adriano S. Baumgartner
