Original WWII German Luftwaffe officer photograph dating to May 1942. The image shows a Luftwaffe officer wearing his visor cap and double-breasted leather greatcoat in a snow-covered setting. The reverse is annotated in period handwriting with the date and unit information, making this a desirable identified wartime portrait.

The back is handwritten:

\"Ostpreußen (Mai 1942)
Angehör. d. Jg. (F) 3
Lindenberg/Ostpr. i. M.\"

Approximate translation:

• \"East Prussia (May 1942)\"
• \"Member of Jagdgeschwader (F) 3\" (Reconnaissance/Fighter Wing 3)
• \"Lindenberg, East Prussia\"

This indicates the officer belonged to Jagdgeschwader (F) 3, a Luftwaffe long-range reconnaissance formation, and that the photograph was taken in East Prussia during May 1942.
