Re: St Kap 3/123 Aug 43
Chris, I don't know these photos, but Helmut Höfer remained as Staffelkapitän till after the retreat from France to Germany in August 1944 and the Groth crew - Uffz Helmut Retsch (F), Oblt Klaus Groth (B), Uffz Horst Ballewski or Ballowski (Bf) and Fw Ernst Beyer (Bs) - was shot down and killed by 2 Allied Fighters during a test/training flight on 21 March 1944. Thus, photos showing the Groth crew with Hptm Höfer would not be completely unexpected.
Best regards,
Jérémie
