Thanks Morris!
I'm Interviewing him briefly by letter(with his permission) since late of 2014. (Well, actually we got interviewed only three time, for some unavoidable(reasons like time to reply and receive that or my health problem).
Anyway as i know his home has bombed during war and that's the reason of his wartime photo is few in number(I read about it on internet). so I asked about it to him and he answered.
"(only have a few fotos! Older Aces had more."
"no, at our country(*mean outland) area rarely bombs were dropped, only in emergency"
yeh, That's why hard to find his wartime photo, especially before he receive Knight Cross(12, March, 1945).
No worries Han, Speedy recovery my friend.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
