Any Ideas of the RK holders?

Just found this photo-anyone have any ideas who the 2 on the right are? The one far right is VERY familiar. What is in the background is also interesting

He219. We just brought the He219 onto the museum floor at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy museum, though still need the props, control surfaces, engine panels, and the radar dipoles to add.

Hello Chris,


who do you think it is then? Now I am curious. Could it be Günther Radusch?

He reminds me of Günther Lützow, but what is he doing at a night fighter base/unit?...

Best regards,

Marcel

Re: Any Ideas of the RK holders?

Having just written about Lützow, I would say no. Looks like I have a bit of digging to do as the face is familiar but I cannot place it for certain

Re: Any Ideas of the RK holders?

I would say yes, based on picture in RK of the Luftwaffe by Obermaier.

Re: Any Ideas of the RK holders?

Hello,

I used the following as a reference for Werner Hoffmann:

Hunters Of The Reich - Vol.I - Night Fighters.
Williams,David P.
Stroud:Tempus Publishing,2001.
pp.89-124 (Chapter 3 - Major Werner Hoffmann) & 210-211.

Includes a few new photographs of Hoffman (not the usual one, that is used over and over in various publications).

Col.
