WWII Press Photo – NS-Fliegerkorps Appell – Ritterkreuzträger – Berlin, 17 April 1942

Original WWII press photograph depicting a formal Appell (assembly) of the NS-Fliegerkorps in Berlin, held on 17 April 1942 to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the NS-Fliegerkorps (NSFK).

The original typed caption on the reverse states that the ceremony took place at the Schulungshaus des NS-Fliegerkorps in Berlin and was attended by the Ritterkreuzträger of the NS-Fliegerkorps as well as particularly highly decorated members.

The photograph shows a large group of senior NSFK personnel and decorated officers in uniform, with several highly decorated individuals clearly visible. The reverse retains the original period caption and a SIPHO S.A. – Service International Photographique, Bruxelles copyright/press stamp, providing interesting contemporary press provenance.
