Certainly looks like a 96, and isn't that Molders?

The picture appears in Reschke's book on JG301/302. The guy in the picture is Generalleutnant Dietrich Peltz. The aircraft in the pic is indeed an Ar96 and the one Reschke and Fw Blum flew from Stendal to Ehrfurt on 8 April 1945 to collect two Ta152H-1s. These are the ones some believe to be actually two Ta152C's but the book mentions H's in several places.

more in our future volumes on JG 301. a liaison plane actually a sitting duck during the day really ..............
Beat me to it! He is unmistakeable.
I don't have Reschke's book to hand but I'm guessing this picture was taken late in the war as he's visiting a fighter unit. Pelz always looks young for a General

They are 'Unteroffiziere' (if I'm reading their ranks correctly from the rather hazy photo) standing close to a General

the pilots were not too keen/kind to him, this is in 45 when visiting III. gruppe and Peltz hopped into black 3 Ta 152H-0, it is a series of cine film.
He probably just said "I have some bad news and some very bad news..."

Any chance you can reveal the codes on the sides Erich, don't need pictures ?
Thanks guys, hope I can get this figured out as I really want to add it to my 1/48 Jg301 collection

I've been and dug out Reshke's book. It was Black 13 that Peltz flew during his visit to Stendal according to the book.

ah no it is black 3. Reschke has thought to have flown a black 13 Ta but in reality it was black 3. I see the statement on pg 214. smae A/C on the previous page when Peltz was reviewing the Ta's of III. gruppe and Fw Doras of Ii. gruppe and their personell, the gruppen did not want him anywhere close to their units in reality

No code visible in the pics in Reschke's book Karl. Sorry.
Hey Erich, how you doing mate?

Wayne am holding my own for the time being, the horizontal bar on the Arado I believe is red and no numbers or codes visible. need to check further as the bar might be green of the Geschwader stab.
