ID needed

Bonjour,

Would like to know who are the first and second pilots from left?
From right to left: Galland, Oesau, Milch, Egon Mayer?
Any hint about when and where?
The Do 17Z (?) in the background seems to belong to KG 2.

Merci d'avance.

Dear Chris,

from what I can see on my screen the second from the left - wearing Knght's Cross with Oak Leaves - should be Egon Mayer, here already holding the rank of a Major. The one on the far left doesn't seem to be a pilot at all according to his decorations - no pilot's clasp and apparently some class of KVK ( Kriegsverdienstkreuz ). The medal on the left side of his jacket doensn't look like an EK I either.

The Dornier in the background - Do 215 ?? - could be the personal tansport of GFM Milch. Forgive my amateurish approach towards the identification of the a/c, but it's not my cup of tea. Hope this helps.

Regards

Forgive my amateurish approach

Are you kidding?
If you have an amateurish approach, what could most of us say about ours?

Thanks for your help.

Chris
