Lt. Andreas Trockels, 5./JG 11.

Dear all,

Among the curent eBay sales is this photo (1.), offered together with another (2.) showing undoubtedly Lt. Andreas Trockels exiting his "Schwarze 18" nicknamed "Hjördis" at Jever in July 1943.

Photo 1. does seem taken at a different time and makes me think of another photo taken 11 April 1944 whilst II./JG 11 was stationed at Wunstorf and showing a small group of II./JG 11 pilots, among them Lt. Andreas Trockels, seen here shortly before his death on 29 April 1944:

Can this hypothesis be verified ? Thanks in advance for your inputs

Cheers
Marc
