Walter Ibold,DKiG
Gentlemen,
The only information that I could find about Walter Ibold who won the DKiG as a Luftwaffe fighter pilot was "Kracker Archives". He flew Bf-110s, Me-410s,and Bf-109Gs. He scored at least 25 air-to-air victories. Some of them were four-engined motors. Have you have anymore information about this little known Luftwaffe fighter pilot. Like how many kills Ibold had score while flying twin-engined heavy fighters. When did he won the DKiG? Hope I get an answer soon. Thank you. Sincerely, Edward L. Hsiao |
Re: Walter Ibold,DKiG
Hi Edward
25 air to air victories is probably a huge exaggeration, unless he served in Russia, which I doubt as final rank was only Feldwebel. He was born on 30th September 1921, and died on 24th May 2000. Four claims(three confirmed by micro films) 13th June 1944 2./ZG 76 B-24 1008 hrs 7000 metres H.S.S Nr.1 2nd July 1944 2./ZG 76 B-17 North of Komorn 1102 hrs 7000 metres Nr.2 19th September 1944 2./JG 76 P-51 Sinsen area 1600nhrs 500-600 metres Nr.3 14th January 1945 14./JG 300 P-51 Stendal/Havelberg Nr.4. Also I think flew with SG101 and JG 26. Does not seem to have been shot down at any time, unless a more enlightened enthusiast can come up with some details. Kind Regards Johannes |

Re: Walter Ibold,DKiG
There is no Ibold listed in the Ordensträger as having won the DKiG.

Re: Walter Ibold,DKiG
You mean the Veit Scherzer book? That is not complete. But I doubt that Ibold got the DKiG, seems "too" much for his accomplishments....

Hi Peter
List of claims on page twenty-two of your magazine. I have an alternative name for those you have for Uffz Rieber...........Uffz Rupert Küber who was KIA 27th June 1944. W looks like M on the micro films same as R looks like K, also the umlaut in this case could look like an "I". Kind Regards Johannes |
Re: Walter Ibold,DKiG
Johannes thank. I do not know how the microfil writtings look like. It is probable as I do not have other entries for Rieber...So you say it may be the same one...thanks

Re: Walter Ibold,DKiG
Hello,
I was looking for information about Fw.Ibold's membership in JG 26, but I didn't find anything. So is it a change of numbers (printing error) 2./JG 76 and 2./JG 26? Thank you very much Tony |
