Re: Help needed for German hand writing
 

Hi Andreas,

I don't know - this guy is listed in the VBL, but scratched out. As he is not listed in the VdK database, I assume he was not found and declared as dead (or is buried as unknown).

Regards

Heuser

Re: Help needed for German hand writing
 

Thank you friends for these information : Difficult to understand..

So according to different sources:

Gerhard Hank 1943 missing since 23. December 1944 8./JG 4 ( ???)

I do not find any info about that pilot.

Uffz Heinz Haug, 8. Staffel, II./JG 4, went missing 23. December 1944.

Uffz. Haug is listed in the GenQu6Abt loss list of January 20th 1945

So :

1 : Two different pilot named Uffz. Heinz Haug ?

2 : Name and the date are both wrong on the back of this picture ?

Thank you very much indeed to all !
Phil.

Hello, all

I think one must find a full name for him.

Heinz is often a short version of Heinrich, and we definitely have a lot of double first name possibilities:

Gerhard Heinrich

Heinrich Gerhard

Heinz Gerhard

and so on...

My initial response was for the message by Horst Weber where he mentions that the information is missing from the GenQu listings, I just showed that it is in the report dated 20.01.1945.

Regards,
Andreas B

That photo was definitely one of those on ebay.
All other names that Kudell told me were reliable, so I would go with Haug.

Kind regards,
Daniel
