Who are the men in this German Newsreel?

Beginning at the 2:32 min mark, who are the men (two of which are wearing RK's) who are featured in this Die Deutsche Wochenschau (German Weekly Review) film? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9ATh-7nQZk

(1) Who is the man being carried from the plane, wearing a RK, smoking the cigar?

(2) Who is the man in front of the Me-109 with the double chevron Kommodore markings?

(3) Who is the man at 2:39 in the sunglasses wearing the RK?

Thanks!

Bronc

In the glasses is Walter Dahl. Heinz Kemethmüller, and Friedrich-Karl Müller.

Re: Who are the men in this German Newsreel?

Don, you beat me by a blink. ;-)
This weekly newsreel was in the cinemas on 4.June 1944
At 2:32 - Kemethmüller
2:35 - Lt. Dieter Zink, posing in front of 'Tutti' Müller's Kommodoremaschine of the JG 3*
2:40 - Walter Dahl
2:43 - 'Tutti' Müller with Dahl
2:46 - Moritz

*Explantory anecdote in Prien & Stemmer, Messerschmitt Bf 109 im Einsatz bei Stab und I./Jagdgeschwader 3, p.25 The PK cameramen had arrived and set up beside Kommodore Müller's machine. The Wochenschau correspondent began directing the "Herr Major (Müller) has to do this," and Herr Major should then..." Müller was having none of it, declaring that there was nothing he "had" to do. Another pilot became the 'star' in front of his machine instead.

Thank you!

Heinz Kemethmüller has a very interesting personal insignia painted on his Fw-190 at 2:31-2:32, a little bird of some kind. And Walter Dahl seems like an interesting fellow.

Does anyone know of a concentrated online source for German newsreel (beyond YouTube) where I can find more footage of Luftwaffe Experts? (Does anyone have any great links?)

Are there any DVD's available that I can purchase?
