Re: Who is the RK officer?
Far be it for me to claim any expertise in German aircrew and aircraft, but:
a) what aircraft type are they standing under? Bf 110? b) the man on the left has the Deutsches Kreuz, presumably in Gold c) the man next to him is holding a bottle (wine or Champaign) d) the man next to him is the RK holder, I am guessing the pilot My guess is these three are the crew of a Bf 110 being congratulated for a significant sortie number, or a significant victory total. Earliest possible date would be late 1941 (DKG created Sept 1941 [Wikipedia]), but more likely 1942 or 43. But I could be wrong. (horrors!) Enjoy! Frank.
