Mascot dog of JG 53 is standing next to Werner Mölders' 109. 56 kills so far, which means the photograph has been taken in February 1941.

The photograph shows an Me 163B "White 14" of 1./JG 40 being towed towards its take-off point by its special ground-handling vehicle. In the backround railway wagons can be seen crossing the eastern edge of Brandis airfield.

Hellcat with Mickey Mouse camouflage?  :o

Mickey Mouse was used as a password for the invasion of Normandy, so I think we'll see some landing map.

Edit. I found also this:
Quote
This ACE Matador artillery tractor has been painted in the 1944 British Army vehicle camouflage pattern popularly known as 'Mickey Mouse' pattern, because of the distinctive black mouse ears painted on or sprayed over the khaki drab base colour. If you look closely, you can see the top of Mickey's head immediately above the rear wheel. The pattern was used on many vehicles participating in the Normandy invasion and the subsequent campaigns in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Like all the other AA-soldiers, they were armed with the lovely Carcano carbines.
The so-called "Terni" rifles?

Wilhelm "Willi" Reinhard, commander of Jasta 6, stands by his crash-landed Dr I in his Fliegerkombination (flying suit), holding his Heinecke parachute harness, in mid-march 1918. Reinhard lost his upper wing fabric in flight, which in turn led to structural failure. He succeeded in keeping enough control to force-land, however, althought the Dr I flipped over when its wheels touched the ground, causing most of the damage visible in this photograph. Reinhard's star was on the rise at this period, and he was promoted to hauptmann on 22. March. His score had reached 12 by mid-April, and he subsequently took command of JG I following von Richthofen's death.
