I wondered if anyone could translate the script on the back to provide their names and find a corresponding unit where they might have flown. It would be great to discover their unit and eventual fates if possible.
Please see link below.
Many thanks

If they were flying the Hs 123 they were ground-attack pilots and not reconnaissance pilots (that would have been Hs 126).
