This LW man is probably a bomber pilot. Does anyone know him? (source: Lexikon der Wehrmacht)

Not a bomber pilot, it is a fighter pilot: Anton Hackl.

John Toner · Post by **John Toner** » 26 Sep 2007 02:17

Thanks, Ingo. The reason I thought it was a bomber pilot was because the full photo shows him with a bomber crew member.
