Hi again guys.
I recently read one of Johannes Steinhoff's books, and he mentions that he adopted a dog while on Sicily.
It must've been a somewhat small dog, since he writes that he put the dog behind the headrest in his 109, when the Luftwaffe started loosing the battle down there, and they had to withdraw.
While on the way, he encountered some enemy aircraft, and promptly forgot all about the poor dog, engaging the enemy and escaping unscathed. Needless to say, the dog was terrified, but otherwise physically okay afterwards.
Does any of you know if any photos exist of the man and his dog?
Cheers,
Maria.

Cool pics Njaco, but if you had looked through the thread first, you'd discovered that I posted that colour pic w. Galland, crew and puppy before you.
Thanks for the thought, though - I appreciate it.

No worries, I think I've scoured most of the web - and quite a few books - for Galland pics, so you'd be hard pressed to find one I haven't got in my collection already.
