Otto Werner (KG26)

I was registered on this website for many, many years when living in UK. Now living in NZ it became necessary to furnish new email address and re-register.
That said some of you might remember me with my research of Major Otto Werner. I have all Werner's service records (plus some personal items) but what has eluded me for 15-20 years is a photograph of him. Hopefully over time someone might be able to help me find this 'final piece of the jigsaw'
Thanks

I have been researching this Luftwaffe officer for many years and am still searching for a photograph of him. With a number of years having passed since my last thread I am hoping the lapse of time someone can help me out...

You state that you have his service records. I am sure that the membership would appreciate if you could e-mail that to: Luftoffzfeedback@shaw.ca

This will be used to improve the write-up for this fellow.
