Has anyone a photo of Georg Jacob?

[FANGIO]

Here´s one. Don´t have the source though, sorry. Had it for a long time. Looks like it was published in a book.

[Fallschirmjäger]

In FJ uniform you mean,as the other picture is in the heer right,will look around a bit now.
(Well before i posted i saw no answer,but see there is one now,but then maybe Peter wants one in FJ uniform more clearly like a posed one in dress uniform etc...)

And this thread is for knights cross with the iron cross and above winners right,not lower?.

[Peter H]

FJ

Thanks.Excellent.I think that fulfills our requirements.

Peter


Has anyone got a photo of Gerhard Methner?

[Fallschirmjäger]

Well i did not help realy with anything i think,and that book that came out awhile ago on all the FJ knights cross winners dose not have these last 2 guys pictures in the FJ or any others pictures which are needed here.As thats a book i wish i had for shure too,so a member must have it right?.
