Pilot-Observer Badge with Diamonds today

[Sepp45]

Two French officers wearing the PO badge with Diamonds. It would be nice to identify the holders.

If somebody knows, please add the names.

French General Vuillemin is on the left, his badge can barely be seen. The next officer is General Francois D' Astier de la Vigerie. The third man I believe to be Vuillemin's aide Hubert-Marie Joseph De Greffrier.

One of the most iconic pictures displaying the PO badge with diamonds. Two holders: Generalmajor Dietrich Peltz and Oberst Werner Baumbach.

This photo was taken right after the award ceremony by Hermann Göring on July 14th, 1941.

Korten is NOT wearing the diamond version. Shown is the standard POB.

Hi Mark, thanks for the correction. I thought it would be because of the light or something...
