Hermann Graf

[Der Maresal]

Here's that fine Picture of Graf that I promissed.



He wears the Romanian pilot Bage on his right pocket. I believe Grislawsky also wears it, and I have an image of that too.



The Caption reads:
"Hermann Graf (212 Victories) was one of the most successfull Fighterpilots in the first years of the Russian Campaign. On the 2nd October 1942, he was the first pilot with 200 Victories. As he was later relocated to the Defence of the Reich, he was not as successfull and shot down only another 10 allied aircraft."
