Does Polen in the handwritten caption mean this photo is from Poland?

No it says: Polish campaign.



PS: cool pic!

I guess they probably wouldn't have painted a Chamberlain caricature on a plane until after war was declared at the beginning of September.

Those are some LONG shoes they painted onto his feet! Perhaps to make him a sinister-looking Shylock kind of character.

Here's a Chamberlain caricature on u-boat U-47

www.u-47.org

The bird-with-umbrella logo also satirized Chamberlain

The original owner of this album actually served with I Gruppe, 3. KG 55 (G1 + J ?) before being transferred to the Panzer arm in late 1944.

You are correct "Uncle Kurt" - the caricature is indeed the Bavarian comedian Karl Valentin.

Interesting in that he was transferred to the Heer branch of panzer service instead of Luft?
