@Motorsportrace , thank you for the comparison!
Straubel - correct
Rosenhamer - correct
Baum - likely correct
Krause - correct
Kathrein - your 2nd picture is definitely Edgar Barth
Perduss - correct
Klodwig - correct
Helfrich - that's not him (just google him), but I don't know him... maybe a motorcycle rider?
Fitzau - correct
Thank you, I looked at the caption, which didn't mention Barth (I should have guessed it).

I think Theo Helfrich is the bald guy at the back in the middle, as stated by the caption. Although I've never seen a photo of him without a crash hat so I'm not totally sure.

Thanks
@uechtel !!! That confirms the ID of Fitzau was correct on the previous page.
By the way, could you provide the image in a high quality format, like PNG, and email it to me?

Many thanks!

'Porky' Fitzau
