Re: Photos of 1940 Pilots

It has been suggested this is Ströhlein; Dr Jochen Prien cannot confirm one way or another so can anyone else?

Possibly Werner Mölders in the foreground but sorry I don't know who the other man is.

Mölders and...?

With this picture here the man is easy to recognize. There is a fairly high possibility that Mölders is discussing with this pilot, or receiving his first account of action after landing, this man being a member of Mölders' unit: either JG 53 or JG 51. We only need to screen all books and articles published on these units: with a little luck we'll find this guy. Nothing is certain but if there is a photograph of this man in a book it can be found quickly.
