Press Photograph

Dated December 1941 this official press photograph shows the funeral procession for Oberst Werner Molders, having Reichsmarshall Göring at its head
Mölders became the first pilot in aviation history to claim 100 aerial victories—that is, 100 aerial combat encounters resulting in the destruction of the enemy aircraft, and was highly decorated for his achievements. Mölders was instrumental in the development of new fighter tactics that led to the finger-four formation. He died in an air crash in which he was a passenger on the 22th November 1941.
