Re: Location and date of Oesau picture required.

Hello!
A similar picture ( with a War Correspondant alongside Oesau ) appear on the book: "La Luftwaffe attaque à L´Ouest, 1939-1942" by French Historian Jean-Bernard Frappé - Editions Heimdal, pg.54 ( last picture ).
Mrs Cori is right...this is indeed Balthasar machine.
Oesau received the RK after 20 kills, which he achieved on the 20th August 1940. While this picture was taken he had 39 victories to his credit ( so we assume it was taken before his 40th kill which ocurred on the 5 February 1941 ).
I will try to scan the picture and put it here tomorrow for you.
Yours
Adriano Baumgartner
