Other (Non Heer) WW2 German Photos

Below are some more photos from my collection. This selection includes original photos, a few copies of originals,

postcards and some postwar signed pictures.

A propaganda photo showing Ju 88 bomber crews discussing mission successes

Josef Buerschgens of Jg26 (Schlageter) on his Bf109 who I am led to believe was the first pilot of his

unit to be shot down over England. He survived and was captured.

Hajo Hermann, a nightfighter pilot with 10 victories

Fritz Witt, commander of the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler in Normandy. He was killed by an allied shell in Normandy.

I believe this picture was taken in France 1940. Seated in the car is Paul Hausser, later commander of the SS Panzerkorps

whilst the Officer with the goggles is Sepp Dietrich, commander of the Leibstandarte Adolf Hilter.

Bismarck photographed from her escort, the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, on manoeuvres in the Baltic.

Signalling from Prinz Eugen to the Bismarck. This is a postcard. However, I have this as a large original framed photo

along with an original framed EK2 certificate, dated 20th April 1941 (on board) to Signalobergefreiten Bernhard Leuthold.

Does anyone know where I can get more information on this sailor?
