Fw. Werner Martin, Stab IV.(Sturm)/JG 3
 

Hi,

I would like more information on the career of Fw. Werner Martin, that served in Stab IV.(Sturm)/JG 3, MIA in 15-Mar-45.

How many abschuss did him obtain?

Is it possible that Martin flew the Dora 9 "Blue 2" based on Prenzlau?

Thank's a lot!

We find in the list of "Abschuss" of stab IV/JG3:

23/12/1944
Fw.RUDOLF Martin=Two B-26 (1.-2.)

24/12/1944
Fw.WERNER Martin=One B-17 (3.)

Obviously,there is a confusion of first name!(two Martin at the same time in Stab,difficult to believe!)

So Rudolf for Werner or Werner for Rudolf....Mystery!

Idem for 15/03/1945:Rudolf or Werner MIA (Fw.190 D-9 Wnr. 211 147)

Hi Guys

I have all three claims with Werner. He was born on 18th December 1919. Don't know the crash-sites but claims were exactly:-

23rd December 1944 B-26 1140 hrs 3500 metres Nr.1
23rd December 1944 B-26 1141 hrs 2000 metres Nr.2
24th December 1944 B-17 1231 hrs 6300 metres Nr.3

Missing in combat with Sowiet aircraft near Stettin, Germany on 15th March 1945. All three claims are recorded on the Mikrofilms, but these would be exactly when they cease, so possibly more claims later.

Kind Regards

Johannes
