Strange, Hamm is nowhere near Texel. I can only find 1 mission on this date (39)
THURSDAY, 4 MARCH 1943 (Eighth Air Force) VIII Bomber Command Mission 39: 71 B-17s of the 1st Bombardment Wing are dispatched against the marshalling yard at Hamm, Germany; 16 drop 40 tons of bombs on the target at 1043 hours; we claim 13 enemy aircraft destroyed, 3 probably destroyed and 4 damaged. We lose 4 B-17s and 9 others are damaged; casualties are 1 KIA, 7 WIA and 33 MIA. Another 28 B-17s hit the shipyards at Rotterdam, The Netherlands dropping 70 tons between 1020 and 1021 hours. We claim 3 enemy aircraft destroyed; we lose 1 B-17 while 15 others are damaged; casualties are 9 MIA. This is the first Eighth Air Force attack on a Ruhr industrial target. To divert the enemy, 14 B-24s of the 2d Bombardment Wing fly a diversion without a loss. soutce:https://www.8thafhs.org/combat1943.htm |

Hello gentlemen!
Isn´t the combination of the jacket from the Wehrmacht with his Frontflugspange and Flugzeugführerabzeichen unusual for spring 1944? Herzliche Grüsse aus Oberschwaben, Wolfgang |

The photo can also be older. This was very often when no current was available. But of course the combination is interesting. Rgds, Kaczmarek |
