Hans Auschner Gerhard Dümmler and Johannes Kuschidlo below a JU 88 . But we are not able to assign the names to the persons. The photo has been taken in June/July 1943 in Nantes by the Wekusta 2 Ob.d.L. This is verified by the yellow neckerchiefs of the crew.

On June, 6th, 2012, Pierre Babin, Nantes (historican and author) wrote: "I was able to identify the officer (2nd from left) wearing a cap. This is second lieutenant Georg Obermeier. The three other men are H. Auschner, G. D�mmler and J. Kuschidlo (from left to right)."

1st from the right: Hans Auschner. Apparently back from the 1000th weather reconnaissance flight of his unit on the airfield of Nantes. Meteorological officer is signing the report. Perhaps this is Hans Auschner himself. Text on the reverse side of the original photo: „1000th sortie“ apparently Hans Auschner and his crew made this special sortie of the unit - by pure chance or intentionally rewarding the good team performance.
