This might be the appropriate place for this photo...

Very interesting!
Thanks all, for the info and pictures.

[Darrell]

Is the badge in Post 40 supposed to be the same badge as in Rudel's storage box? Same badge, strange angle?

Look different to me. The angle isn't that different.

Look different to me. The angle isn't that different.

They look different to me too.

Could it be that these reference photos, which certainly look old, are in fact not that old ?

Just kind-a-reminded me of one of the more recent art scams where photos showing particular paintings in an old collection from the 1920ies were faked to create fake-provenance for the paintings....

[Flemming]

Look different to me. The angle isn't that different.

I hvae to agree, they do not look the same.

Are his awards the ones on display ever year at the SOS? The guy has two or three groups of pilots awards with diamonds and there documents.

[Flemming]

If I remmer correctly, then Rudels Awards are still in his family possion.

Well, the fading areas of black paint matches this photo.

[Pieter Verbruggen]

Yes, National Socialist Air Force, Kaiserliche Navy and Reactionary Army.

A wild and crazy bunch of guys to be sure...

...real German soldiers... "stark wie Kruppstahl"...would be more appropriate than "a crazy bunch of guys"...if you spotted him 500 m above you, better started to run...

Can anyone make a guess as to the maker of his DKiG? Is it me or does it look like a S&L?

OK, I guess that question was just too tough.
