Translation of official German caption on photo reverse: "Oberleutnant der Reserve Hans Buchholz (Flugzeugführer in 1.Staffel / I.Gruppe / Kampfgeschwader 40), holder of the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes. He has, with the men of his crew, sunk over 78,000 gross registered tons of enemy merchant ships. France, 4/4/41." The picture was taken in Bordeaux, France, on 4 April 1941, while Buchholz already received the Ritterkreuz from 24 March 1941. On the left is Flight Engineer Oberfeldwebel Erich Kielke, on the right is Second Radio Operator Feldwebel Meinhard Milde. In the background is their aircraft, a Focke-Wulf Fw 200C-3.Source :
