Hi Franck,

The only photo I have of him is from the Vermisstenbildliste. Unfortunaley there was never one in his Soldbuch.

That pilot or not? Difficult to say.

Re: Hauptmann Albert Kind. + 30.1.1944?
 

Difficult to say...he has a high hairline but his face seems rounder to me!?!?

However, there is no indication other than Werk Nr. what ID his aircraft had on that day!

Interestingly BoB then and now, also Prien state that the pilot was injured, there is no mention of this in his Soldbuch only that he received a tetanus jab on that day. Additionally this pilot does not appear to be injured!!!!

Thanks, I will save a copy just in case it is!

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your kind answer Ian.
Effectively this is not clear: In two references you gave (Prien and BoB...) there is something which isn't clear: One is talking about a "Belly landing" the other one of a "Crash".
I must admit that the fact nothing is mentionned in his Soldbuch concerning these wounds did help me - if not push me - to point you these two pictures.
Last, it's important to say that after a mission flight, after a possible air combat, pilots do come back "much older", for a while at least; Mombeeck books are full of this kind of comments. Another reason which push me in this direction...

Better try than doing nothing :).

Best regards, Franck.

PS: I did change my avatar picture; the new one is a 4.60Mb, 4200x3300 and is spectacular. If someone is interested to get it just let me know.
