my grandmother gave me my grandfather's photo album from ww2 (they were german) before she passed away last year. he flew on he-111 bombers and was taken pow during the battle of britain. many extraordinary photos but i'm having trouble identifying some of the people. i apologize for the weak scanning clarity. if anybody can help, i'd appreciate it greatly!

second from left is goering (goring). on his left is who i'm interested in....i've got lots of photos of him with goering.

I have a history degree from OU, and it served me no purpose ID'ing the guy on the left in the first pic.

That being said, you could try e-mailing Dr. Timothy Zwink (http://www.ou.edu/cas/history/fac-staff-zwink.html). He lectures on WWII at OU, and is the Director of Development for the Oklahoma Historical Society.

The guy behind Goering in this photo seems to be the same guy. (black raincoat, brown belt)

Google: Fieldmarshall Erhard Milch. He might be your guy. (it seems he was the Luftwaffe #2 behind Hermann)

Interesting fellow. Half-jewish, Goering declared him officially Aryan when he took over the management of the Luftwaffe.

Sentenced to life in prison at the Nuremberg war crime trials.
