The photo itself is attributed to Wolfgang Zebrowski, who was a pilot with I./SKG 10 in Normandy and wrote a memoir, Nachts über den Wolken.
Thanks, I'm really grateful for given information. Very interesting. About originality, well of course I hope that this photo is original, any way I will keep it in my tiny collection of Luftwaffe.

Best regards,
Alex.
