    Information on Oil Painting of Luftwaffe Aircrew October 1940

    Gentlemen

    I am looking for information on this lovely 1971 dated oil painting by G Stephens of two Luftwaffe Officers being interviewed by a third.

    Does anyone now what event it portrays, perhaps a picture in a Der Adler magazine, and can anyone make out the script written on the reverse by a German hand which appears to be dated 5th October 1940?

    Best regards,

    Simon

    I think a part of the text I can identify:

    " An der Westfront 5. Oktober 1940 - mit Hptm. (Hauptmann) Kabra (?) + 1941 April u.(nd)

    Kriegsberichterstatter Heinz Lab...? SDR (SüdDeutscherRundfunk) Stutgart "

        Just seen the painting on your website.....

        I think its Hauptmann Kahra.

        KAHRA, Karl Adolf. (DOB: 29.09.09 in Windheim). 11.04.42 Hptm., Staka 8./KG 40 KIA - Fw 200 C-3 (F8+HS) crashed on take-off from Rennes SE of the a/f in an apparent accident. Buried in Rennes or Mont de Huisnes.
