KG55 Aircrew Celebration?

Hi,

Recently bought this image of aircrew celebrating unit's 3000 war flight.
Seller said it was photo from KG55

Looks like 3 names on the reverse. Can anyone identify these fliers with notes on reverse as help?

Thanks

Rick

Re: KG55 Aircrew Celebration?

Hello,

Where and when:

Das KG 55 flog an Einsatztagen vom 6. bis 17. Juli (1943), 899 Einsaetze! Der 7. Juli forderte hoechste Genauigkeit im Bombenwurf. Bei Gremutschi und Krassaja mussten im Rahmen der Unterstuetzung fuer das 11. SS-Panzerkorps bis auf 200 m vor den eigenen Linien die Bomben geworfen werden. 178 Einsaetze werden alleine an diesem Tage geflogen. Bei den Staffeln waren schon mehrere "Jubilaeumsfluege" absolviert. Die 6. Staffel flog den 3000sten Feindflug am 6. Juli, mitten im Geschehen um die Schlacht bei Kursk.

See:
Chronik Kampfgeschwader 55 "Grief".
Dierich,Wolfgang.
Stuttgart:Motorbuch Verlag,2012 (Spezialausgabe).
p.309.

Unfortunately, no crew named.

Col.
