1./JG 52 in Borkum, summer 1941 RK-holder Karl Hammerl

Pilots of 1./JG 52 pictured during the summer of 1941 in Borkum. The pilots are seen outside of the mobile ops room, the so-called "Zirkuswagen". On the left taking a drink from the bottle is the later RK- holder Uffz Karl Hammerl who was awarded the RK on 19  September 1942 for some 67 victories. On 2  March 1943 he crash-landed behind enemy lines south-west of Kolomak and was subsequently listed as MIA.

Below; another view of the mobile ops room used by the Staffel.  Staffelkapitän Oblt. Carl Lommel is 4th from the left in the row standing, while Hammerl is 3rd from the left in the front row.

Daily Ebay.de photo find - some search tips

You probably already know this, but why not set up your own daily Ebay.de list search - its a lot easier than you think.. 

When searching Ebay for Luftwaffe photos I tend to look first at certain 'preferred' sellers, eg Marco at koelsch333, Heiko Fuchs or Michael Meyer ( see tag links below... )

But it is fairly straight forward to set up a daily e-mail schedule which will send lists of photo links and an over-view of your preferred search items direct to your in-box..

go to ebay.de and add your search words in the search box  - you will need to use some very basic German words that you will probably already be familiar with eg 'Flugzeug' (aircraft), Jagdflieger (fighter pilot), 'Besatzung' (crew) 'Staffelabzeichen' (Staffel emblem),'Fliegerhorst' or 'Flugplatz' (airfield), or even the rather English-looking 'Pilot im Cockpit'. Obviously if you are looking for photos precede your search word with 'Foto' or 'Aufnahme' (photo) or 'Abzug' (print) or 'Bild' and 'Bilder' (picture/pictures) A simple 'Foto Cockpit' brings up 40 results today alone..

You will get a list of search results eg  "135 Ergebnisse gefunden  = results found.."

135 Ergebnisse gefunden für Foto Junkers   Suche speichern

to the right of your search results you will see a clickable link  "Suche speichern"  = "save search"

click on "save search"  to bring up a box ; the text translates " send daily email when new items are offered corresponding to your search criteria ".  Ensure the check box is ticked - 

hey presto, you will henceforth receive a daily email of your stored searches. Fill in as many searches as required eg " Foto Staffel Wappen "  " Foto Luftwaffe Flugzeug " " Foto Fw 190....etc 

Other useful search words are 'Top'  ( which basically means excellent or 'ausgezeichnet') and words such as 'selten' (rare) or 'Archiv' or 'Original' etc etc. Add some basic abbreviations such as JG or NJG if night fighters are of interest for example....
