Signing off on the Legion Condor collection with this extraordinary image. I have been in communication with a Spanish academic who will take the collection for donation to archives where they can be properly studied and preserved for the historical record. I have asked only for acknowledgment and updates. #legioncondor #spanishcivilwar (at Hanworth, Hounslow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgy5xfZqztq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This man’s name is Erdmann. This photo was taken at home in Göttingen where the family moved after WWII. I believe he is the Legion Condor Luftwaffe officer behind the camera. #legioncondor (at Hanworth, Hounslow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgqk1T6o9xd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our Legion Condor officer has excellent access. The man at the centre of the first three images and to whom the Germans are attentive is no less than General Alfredo Kindelàn y Duany, founder and head of the Spanish Air Force. This further convinces me that Hermann Plocher is indeed the officer with the spectacles seen here again. #spanishcivilwar #legioncondor (at Hanworth, Hounslow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgml2-CoTL-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

By October Ju 52s had flown 13,500 troops into Spain gor the Fascists. #spanishcivilwar #legioncondor #ju52 (at Hanworth, Hounslow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwsWh1qXf1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
