Hi,

I got this photo recently. It is a private photo an d has a release stamp on the back of the 19. Vorpostenflottile or its successor the 5th Sicherungsflottille (release stamp only gives fiedpost-number). Both units were active in Denmark from 1940 on.

Can anybody identify the Admiral with Ritterkreuz talking to members of the flottille?

Thank you very much!

GreyC

It's Hubert Schmundt.

Great,

thank you! So photo was taken probably between March 1943 to the end of February 1944.
