Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
 

I don't have the full pilots list but it would be interesting to look after the roster of 5(F)/123 (august) / Sonder Staffel Kaatsch (later).

Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
 

In the ranks of 3./NAGr 14 there were at least two DKiG recipients.

Oblt. Hans-Heinrich Spiess
Oblt. Andreas Michalec

The first one does not seem to fit as he was reported MIA and his picture in de DRK-Vermisstenbänder does not look like our guy. Who has a picture of Oblt. Andreas Michalec?

It is a long shot but who knows....

On the FalkEins site there is a photo of the same Ltn. on his left arm below the shoulder tabs there appears to be some sort of symbol possibly a wolf's head. If this is so and not my imagination or a trick of the light would this offer any clue as to his unit.

His name is Lt. Hans-Ulrich Jung, at the time of his dead (01-01-1945) he was the Staffelkapitän of 10./JG3.

Are you really sure? I will need to check my old files but I would like to know your source...

Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
 

Dear all,

Thomas H is right, the Leutnant in question is Hans-Ulrich Jung of 10./JG3. His flight log along with several other items and some photos from the same PK series have been auctioned a short while ago, leaving no doubt about his identity.

Pfff.... I must be getting old....all the time I had prints and a page of his logbook in my files.....would love to see a copy of his complete logbook....

Anyhow...looked at my notes and wonder if the Lt. Jung in the pictures on page 401 of Jochen's III./JG 3 volume are indeed the same guy. There is some resemblance but.....

Cheers,

John

As a follow-up, there is currently another picture of Hans-Ulrich Jung seated in the cockpit of his Bf 109 G-6/AS being auctioned currently on eBay:
