I would guess, it's Albert Marcel, one of four HSU from "Normandy-Neman" regiment. Three of them survived WW2. Albert Marsel moved to US in late 1940s.

Marcel Albert is correct!
Eugene...
You got it... and he resides in Florida. However, I spent some time with Marcel when living in Alabama. Also visiting my home on the same afternoon was (and still is) the highest scoring (living) German ace on the Eastern Front - Gunther Rall. Both had great stories to share! For those unfamiliar...Marcel flew for France, then Britain...and the Normandie Niemann squadron. I had a picture of Marcel's YAK-1 fighter on my wall...which he kindly autographed for me while visiting. Dan |

Salyan, looks like the rank insignias of a Commander on your collar, is this right?

Yes, now I see that the insignia is the golden one.
I am only SFC in the German Air Force Reserve I see on your awards/badges that you are in a joint position in the staff/HQ?!? Thanks for the information Commander! |
