A really nice colorized picture of Oberstleutnant Dr.jur. Ernst Kupfer (2 July 1907 - 6 November 1943) in the cockpit of his aircraft. He was a Stuka pilot who commanded Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 (StG 2) "Immelmann" during World War II. He is wearing the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on his neck, which he received on 23 November 1941 as Hauptmann and Staffelkapitän 7.Staffel / III.Gruppe / Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 "Immelmann". Kupfer was also received the Eichenlaub #173 for his Ritterkreuz on 8 January 1943 as Major and Gruppenkommandeur II.Gruppe / Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 "Immelmann", and the Schwerter for his Ritterkreuz on 11 April 1944 (posthumous) as Oberst and Geschwaderkommodore Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 "Immelmann"
