4,000 Feindflug - 5/SG 2 - who is the pilot?

I am not familiar with his face, but who is the pilot who flew the 4,000 sortie (Feindflug) of 5./SG 2 and in which date?

Is there any record on already published books?

Thank you!
I do not have his book yet, but I thought that maybe the clue would be there....
My gratitude for the answer.

Re: 4,000 Feindflug - 5/SG 2 - who is the pilot?

EVGENY,

Do you happen to know if this serie of photos was ever published in books or where one could find them?

By the way, Obfw Hermann Buchner was not with the 6 Staffeln of SG 2 instead of the 5th Staffeln as recorded on this particular photograph/shot?

How could this airman be Buchner if the banner do say 5./SG 2...

Do you happen to know if there is a DATE for this celebration flight or if this is recorded onto Buchner's Memories (Stormbird)? This is a book I wish to have but have not yet....

From Kracker Archives:
8/Sch.G-1, II/St.G-2, 4/SG-1 redesig 6/SG-2 (10/43), 10/SG-151 9/44 Prossnitz), 2/Kdo Nowotny (10/44), 10/JG-7 (2/45)

Adriano

The third man from the left, could it be Obfw Erich Pätz from 7./SG 2?
And indeed, the second man from the left, seems to be Erich Buchner from 6./SG 2...but who then flew the 4,000 sortie of the 5 Staffeln??

Hello Adriano

It's not Buchner,according to the photos in his memoirs,and there is no mention of this event.
It would be AMAZING if he FORGOT this fact.

Hello Spektor,

I missed this one! Do you manage to translate what is behind this second photo of the same event?

It appears to have a name "BECHER" behind....but am not sure at all....who is this Uffz who made the 4,000FF of 5./SG 2?
