The official AHF Luftwaffe quiz thread

[Rob Stuart]

Hans-Ulrich Rudel?

[Maxschnauzer]

Roger that, Rob.

Over to you.

[Rob Stuart]

Thanks Max.

Next question: Who is the officer at centre right in this picture?

[von thoma]

Otto Edler von Ballasko ?

[Rob Stuart]

Sorry, no. Someone else.

[Maxschnauzer]

It looks like he's a general officer so that narrows it down a bit. I would say Joseph Schmid who would ultimately assume Command of I.JK.

[Rob Stuart]

Yes, it's Joseph Schmid. I got the photo from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gisela.

Well done, Max. Back to you.

[Maxschnauzer]

Thanks, Rob.

Was the Jagdgeschwader 26, by Albert Leo Schlageter.

[Maxschnauzer]

Well played, Sir.

Your move.

[von thoma]

Thanks !
Who flown this Bf 109 E-4 ?

[Maxschnauzer]

From the green Tatzelwurm I'd guess it's "Assi" Hahn with II./JG 1.

[von thoma]

No Sorry !
I think you're confused with a different pilot, Hans von Hahn, but nor is.

[Maxschnauzer]

Yes, I had my Hahns mixed up there ! I believe the Tatzelwurm was displayed at some point by StaB I./JG 3. How about Gruppenkommandeure Günther Lützow?

[von thoma]

Now Yes !
Gruppenkommandeur (Black chevron and triangle) Hauptmann Günther Lützow, France 1940.
