Hello all,

can you read these names, please? Picture was taken in Salon-de-Provence, May 1943.
Thank you for your help.

Cheers, Franck.

Franck,

Very hard indeed to decipher it..
But I had a try ( maybe others can add or confirm any names ):
From left to right and from up to down:
Von ?
- ?
Ofw Keitel ( my guess ) Uffz Suesbe ( my guess)
Ofw Geich ( my guess ) Uffz ?
Ofw ? Lt Schlacht ( my guess)
Lt Rendeut ( my guess )
Fw Keppler
Hptm Gass or Gafs ( my guess )
Lt. Dr. Swolthusse ( my guess )


Yours
Adriano

PS: Maybe those who have access to the ULTRA files can help you with deciphered messages of personnel from the Squadrons at Salons sur Provence...

PS2: Certainly a German born person will help you with much more certainty than I...

Thank you Adriano,

you confirm what I did read for Keitel and Keppler. No found in Kracker list. Effectively I'm expecting something coming from Ultra files.

Cheers, Franck.

>>Some of the pilots was from the JG 27??

Yes, the 2./ Jagdgruppe Süd was the "Ergänzugsgruppe" for JG27,
so new pilotes have been trained there to prepare for combat missions and have been transfered later to JG27. Also experienced JG27 pilotes have been working there for a while as instructors.

Some info about one name:
Bendert, Karl-Heinz, Olt,
> Fluglehrer bei der 2./JGr.Süd vom 03.11.1942 bis 07.09.1943.
Er wird am 9. September 1914 in Schwiebus/Lkr. Züllichau-Schwiebus geboren, überlebt das Kriegsgeschehen, und 16. Juli 1983 in Oldenburg.
Oberleutnant Bendert, Karl-Heinz, > JG 27, JGr.Süd, JG 27, JG 104 (55 Luftsiege), von 3. Nov. 1942 bis 7. Sept. 1943 bei der JGr.Süd.

Together with Klaus Fischer we have collected since several years some information specially about JGr. Süd members. There should be information also about some other members of your picture in our collection.
