A superb database and I would encourage all to assist Larry & Doug with additions and weeding out duplications & the inevitable inaccuracies

Re: Luftwaffe Officer Summaries for 2023
 

Doug and Larry,

Thank you for your ongoing maintenance of one of the main pillars of Luftwaffe research.

I especially appreciate:

• the extent of the biographical data in each officer's summary.
• your well-thought-out conventions for data entry, and the consistency of your data formatting.
• your provision of a change log with each new edition of the summary. It's a useful resource, and it provides a very impressive insight into your dedication and thoroughness.

Much obliged,
Leon Venter

Is it just me but when I click on the Officer Career summary link I am diverted to here, the TOCH home page. It was working properly a week ago.

A minor update concerning

Josef Bisping:
†13/14.02.45 Hptm., 3./Vers.Verb.OKL KIA - in Ar 234 B-2/N (SM+FE) crash while attempting a night take-off from Havelhausen near Oranienburg. [Version #2: 23.02.45 Hptm., 3./Versuchverband OKL KIA - Ar 234 B-2N crashed following a night take-off from Oranienburg.] Buried at Oranienburg-Lehnitz.

Albert Vogl
13/14.02.45 Hptm., with Versuchverbandes OKL airborne radar operator, KIA – in Ar
234 B-2/N V15 (SM+FE) that crashed near Oranienburg when the airfield lights were abruptly switched off causing the a/c to stall. Buried in Lehnitz

These two entries can be tidied (they were killed in same aircraft).
The date is confirmed as 13.02.45, there are photos off their graves at:
http://www.luftkrieg-oberhavel.de/webs/germany/g022.htm
Also, the aircraft was not V15, which was WNr.130025, but WNr.140145. SM+FE is correct.

First of all: best wishes for the new year 2024!
I too have a minor update, concerning:
HOLLAENDER, Rolf. c.01.44 Hptm., Kp.-Chef Stabskomp. I./NJG 2.


August 1940: Leutnant in 5./NJG 1 (Do 17Z U5+BB & G9+JN), from September 1940 in 2./NJG 2 (unit was converted, Do 17Z R4+YK) - source: Flugbuch Kurt Wacker

7 January 1943: 24.00 - 05.00 Geburtstagfeier von Oblt. Holländer.

15 December 1943: Oblt Holländer begrüßt
(logbook Elsässer, member of Ergänzungsstaffel/NJG 2)
||
April 1945: car crash while serving with II./NJG 2 (presumably Stab II./NJG 2).
In Roth wieder sofortige Weiterverlegung nach Pocking am 3. April 1945.

In der Gegend von Ingolstadt mußte ich übernachten, weil ich vor Müdigkeit nicht mehr fahren konnte. Nacht guter Bewirtung auf dem Bauernhof ging es am anderen Morgen weiter. Etwa 1 km danach verursachte ich einen Unfall mit den Citroen-PKW. Dabei wurden eine mitfahrende Nachrichtenhelferin and ich schwer verletzt, der mitfahrende Waffeninspektor erhielt nur Prellungen, das Kleinkind der Helferin erlitt keinen Schaden und kam zu den Bauern.
Im Lazarett in Ingolstadt verblieb ich bis zum 16.4.45. Auf eigene Verantwortung verließ ich das Lazarett, um meine Einheit in Pocking aufzusachen.
Die Stabskompanie befand sich in Auflösung, Teile kamen zur Eisenbahnflak.
Ich selbst fuhr unter schwierigen Bedingungen nach Hause, um mich weiter in ärztliche Behandlung zu begeben.
('Verlegung der II./NJG 2 von Vechta nach Wiener-Neustadt' von Rolf Hollaender)


Spelling according to the Flugbücher and logbook Elsässer is 'Holländer'.
