General Keller in which unit - who is with him?
Recently some photos of General Keller visiting a Ju 87 D Stuka unit were sold. On one of them a Bf 110 is also visible behind.
Can someone identify either the Squadron or who is with him (at his right side)? Who is the Hauptmann on his right side (blond and tall) and the RK-Träger on the left side? Can the unit be positively identified? A. Last edited by Adriano Baumgartner; 4th May 2021 at 14:28. |

Due to a breakdown on my main PC am unable to put the other photos here.
But here they are: https://www.ebay.de/itm/R286-Foto-We...p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.de/itm/R326-Foto-We...p2047675.l2557 |

Hello friends.
The tall Hauptmann to the right looks like (later) Major Peter Gaßmann (Gassmann). So III./St.G.1 between Sept. 41 and 25.May 42 when he received the RK as a Hauptmann ?? No idea to the RK-holder on the left. Schoene Gruezse Norbert Last edited by NoNo01; 25th April 2021 at 17:40. Reason: Adition |

Me again.
The RK holder on the left looks like later Generalmajor Walter Hagen. I think we can see his Eichenlaub, wich he received in Feb. 1942. Kommodore St.G.1 till the end of 1942. Quite sure about that. Norbert Last edited by NoNo01; 25th April 2021 at 17:44. Reason: Adition |

Norbert,
Your knowledge and facial recognition are amazing. I believe that you matched them 100%. Am simply astonished. Congratulations for your I.D. and for the new owner of the photos. A. |
