Re: Johannes Steinhoff victories
 

Hi Johannes,

Thank you for all the hard work you have done on this thread.

deZeng & Stankey in their Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries give this:

STREICHER, Herbert. (DOB: 24.03.14 in Lunenberg). 05.02.43 Oblt. (Kr.O.), trf from Sturzkampffliegerschule 2 to Kdo. Erprobungsstellen d. Lw. 13.10.44 Hptm. appt Techn. Offz. of Kdo. Nowotny. 1944 Techn. Offz. III./JG 7. 1945 Hptm. and Techn. Offz. in Stab/JG 7.

Both Manfred Boehme, Jagdgeschwader 7 Die Chronik ..., (1983), p. 163 and Robert Forsyth, Jagdgeschwader 7 'Nowotny', (Osprey, 2008), p. 70 have Streicher as still with JG 7 on 20 March 1945.

best regards,

Jim

Hi Jim

Thanks for your input. Guess it makes my theory about the last page being fake more plausible.

Also it would appear that Steinhoff ends his time with JG7 on 11th January 1945, which rather goes against what was generally thought. But if that is the case, what was he doing for also three months?

Keep well

Johannes
