Hello,
I profit to ask a question concerning Heinrich Scholze.
A Uffz. Heinz Scholze from 4./JG52, obtained few victories between 10/11/42 and 30/04/43.
Is it the same Scholze ?
Thanks
Fredo

JG 2 is unfortuantely one of those units to seldom record codes with their machines, even with the NVLMs. They're generally only seen with missing machines, at least with the records I have.
