Re: Help with these KC pilots

The first photo (the Luftwaffe and Knights Cross), the 2nd from right is Heinz Bär. Not sure about the rest, but this is a well-known photo, and all of them should be easy to identify by someone more interested in subject.

The second photo, it is indeed Josef Priller. likely in the year 1941.

First pic: You're right, a well known photo.
Left to right: Heinrich Höfemeier, Erwin Fleig, Heinz Bär, Heinrich Krafft.
All fighter pilots in the JG 51 "Mölders". Pic was taken in April/May 1942, because Fleig was taken prisoner on 29-5-42 and Bär left JG 51 in the middle of May 1942.
