Hitlers pilot Hans Baur on this photo?

[Oberbootsmann]

Hello.
The photo is part of a SD Grenz-Polizei album and was taken right at the Czech border.
Am I right that the guy to the left is Hitlers pilot Hans Baur?

Most of the photos of the album were taken during a Hitler visit to the liberated Sudetenland (former Czechoslovakia) in Oktober 1938 and show mainly SD Grenzpolizei men doing their work.

At least one of the photos of the albums hows Hitlers bodyguard Bruno Gesche together with Hitler.

Hi Matthias,

I would say that there is absolutely no chance that the person to the far left in the bottom photo of note #2, who appears to be holding a flying helmet, is Hans Baur.

Cheers,

Wood have to agree. To start with I've not seen an early shot of him carrying that much weight around the face.

Thanks, I think you are right. The guys face in the photo is definitely too big.
