Molders funeral.

Martin Bormann, Hitler and Erhard Milch at Werner Molders' funeral ceremony, Air Ministry, Berlin, 28 November 1941. In the second row, Julius Schaub (Hitlers Adjutant-in-Chief) and SS-Sturmbannfuhrer (later Gruppenfuhrer) Dr. Karl Brandt - a real doctor, unlike some of Hitler's other "medical advisers". Molders was killed in an air accident, somewhat ironically, while on his way to attend the funeral of Ernst Udet, which took place in the same location shortly before. Best regards, JR.
