Original Source of this Hans Philipp photo?

Hi Guys,

Here is a photo of Hans Philipp. It was originally published very small in the Hans Philipp edition of a German pamphlet series on RK winners. I do not know the title but I do know it was captioned as being of Philipp and his Bf109F in Russia. The photo in fact shows Philipp's Bf109E 'White 9' around about the 13th October 1940. It looks to have been taken at the same time as a series of well known colour PK photos of Hans Philipp and several other pilots posing and leaning against 'White 9" at Campagne lés Guines AF, France. One of these photos is shown here on the Bildarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz (BPK) website. The photo looks like it may have been cropped from a larger photo? Well that's what we are hoping. Does anyone know the original source of this photo? Is there an un-cropped version in existence and where might we be able to acquire a copy?

Thank you,
