Who are these JG 3 pilots ?

[Daniel BASTIEN]

Hello, The man with the mustache, in the center of the photo, hands in his pockets and leaning to the side, is pilot Peter BECHTHOLD, of 8 /JG3. Do you know who the other pilots are? Thank you for your help.

That's a great photograph, was it colorized or an original?

 

[Daniel BASTIEN]

Sorry, I do not know if it is an original or colorized.

Here is mostly for technical conversions! Try to reach the guys at AHF, for biographies.

one can assume this is 8th staffel or other II. gruppe members. fall of 44 till wars end..... due to the Lederkombination they are wearing ~

 

[Daniel BASTIEN]

Thank Erich for this information.

not sure if it helped Daniel; great photo ~ the pilots were probably flying 109G-14/AS - thinking fall/winter into 45....possibly K-4's.
