Another RK Mystery

Any idea of this chap? This came from the family of a War Reporter who flew with 1./106, a number of Seenotflugkdo units and KG 53

Re: Another RK Mystery

Hi Chris,

Are there other KG53 photos in the lot? And can you determine if the shot is taken in France (IV Gruppe) or in Russia (3. Staffel)

Regards, Thomas

Ps. I have another shot, not so much different, of this crew in the cockpit

Kestners family are sending scans to me as they find them. There is a mix of photos with no details albeit 2 show personnel with Legion Condor cuff titles & at at some stage he was at Pleskau
