Need some help on identifying Luftwaffe KC winners

[Ben]

Hi all,

I recently picked up a photo album which I think can be attributed to JG26. In the album there are several pictures of KC winners amonst which also was this picture. Can anyone identify these two men for me. The one on the right also has won the oakleaf.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi,

Eichenlaub winner on right was Walter Storp, KG76 and SKG210.

Cheers

Very Interesting as I have the same exact photo in a photo album I bought at a flea market in Heilbronn about six years ago. Do you have more of RK winner Walter Storp in that album. Elwyn also identified him for me on one of my threads. Bill

That would be Major Arved Crüger RKT (10.6.1940) and Walter Storp EL (RK 21.10.1940, EL 14.7.1941).

Storp was CO of SKG 210 from April until September 1941 when Crüger took over until March 1942 after it was renamed ZG 1.

Crüger was missing in action as CO of KG 77 22.3.1942.

Many thanks Ian!

Bill, my pictures are in the album of one of the KG members.
Also pictures of Galland in there visiting some sort of school.
