[Inquiry] Oberleutnant Bernhard Jope
So I'm doing research on Oberleutnant Bernhard Jope who was a German bomber pilot serving in KG.40 and later commanded KG.100. One other thing of note apparently he scored the first anti-ship kill when the battleship was struck by Fritz X radio controlled glide bombs from his plane. After the war he worked for Lufthansa until retirement and passed away in '95.
I'm looking for any information, specifically pictures of aircraft he had commanded ranging from He 111, Fw 200 Condor, Do 217, and He 177. I'm mostly interested in the aircraft markings and any artwork that would've been on his planes.
Much appreciated.

How did Luftwaffe Oberleutnant 1943 fighter pilot uniform look like?
Greetings!
I would like to make a drawing of well-known Franz Stigler and Charlie Brown incident. The event took place in december 1943 and Stigler was probably Oberleutnant during that time. I would like to make this drawing as historically accurate as possible, can you please leave a link to the image of uniform and helmet he was probably wearing inside his Bf. 109?
Google search is confusing. I don’t want to mess things up, so I ask you for help
