Werner Baumbach's burial - questions
Hi everybody!
I recently bought a book about the life of Werner Baumbach written by himself: "Vida y Muerte de la Luftwaffe" -- Ed Niseos, translated by Miguel Trumpe from the original "Zu spät?".
There are several pictures in this book but there are two of my special interest (Nr 39 & 40). Both were taken at the German Cemetery in Buenos Aires during the funeral of Baumbach.
Maybe this is a silly question but is there any chance that anybody could identify the persons in both pics? I mean the german ones, maybe there is another former Luftwaffe pilot (besides Galland) in those pics or a former nazi personality (e.g. the man with Baumbach`s awards or the man behind the argentinian officer on pic 40).
Any help is very much appreciated.
Best,
FANGIO

The man on the right in 39 looks remarkably like one of the Argentinian Naval pilots who fought in the Falklands war of 1982. I can't remember if it was him who bombed the Sir Galahad or who unleashed the exocet against HMS Sheffield, but the pilot was interviewed on TV and he's the double of your man.
