Is this Hauptmann Helmut Miersch?
Good evening,
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1454 http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1455 The above photo comes from a recent auction on eBay.com. It shows a German pilot atop Arado Ar 234 B-2 W.Nr. 140596 F1+HT at Stavanger-Sola, Norway in the summer of 1945. Is this Hauptmann Helmut Miersch who, while staging it to England, made an emergency landing at Eelde, Netherlands? best regards, Jim |

Unlikely, because he is wearing an Uffz. belt buckle?

Thank you, John. There were two pilots of that rank who successfully flew Ar 234s of KG 76 to Norway on 5 May 1945: Uffz. Ludwig Rieffel and Uffz. Harry Thimm.

Great photo, but I also have doubts that this is an officer.

Anything from Flieger to Oberfeldwebel is possible with that belt buckle....
