From left to right: Oberstleutnant Friedrich Beckh (Geschwaderkommodore Jagdgeschwader 51) and Hauptmann Karl-Gottfried Nordmann (Gruppenkommandeur IV.Gruppe / Jagdgeschwader 51). This picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Jütte on 18 September 1941 when Nordmann was awarded the Eichenlaub to his Ritterkreuz by Beckh, after achieving 59 aerial victories (the awarding of the medal was already received two days previously). Nordmann himself was appointed to command IV./JG 51, succeeding Beckh who was selected to command JG 51 as Geschwaderkommodore (Wing Commander) on 20 July 1941.
