ok, here are some pictures my grandfather took during his time in the Luftwaffe. I gave every photo a title, but unfortunately you can only see the title when you follow the link "visit my gallery" in the upper left corner. Then click on the left side on "Russia 1941-1942".  On the sown right corner you have another options menu. There you can rid of the captions.

On some of the photos you will see the fighter aces Dahl, Luetzow and Oesau.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Regards
SirFrancis

Wow!  Fantastic!  Thank you for sharing.  I assume the guy who shows up again and again was your grandfather?

He was a technical officer. Kind off a testpilot. As far as I know he flew all kind of different aircraft including captured aircraft.

It makes WWII seem more personal when you see pictures like that.
