Lt Gerhard Enßlen, lost 14.03.1941.
 
Lt Enßlen was the younger brother of Haupt Wilhelm Enßlen, Stab II/JG52, lost 02.11.40, and also a pilot, is there any info on his unit, and the cause of his loss?
Thanks
Joe

Leutnant Ulrich Enßlen
 
Hello Joe

I found the following:

14 March 1941: Bf 110 C-2 (W.Nr. 3232) flown by Leutnant Ulrich Enßlen (F) and Gefreiter Peter Hansen (Bf) of Geschwader-Ergänzungsstaffel/ZG 26, both killed, collided in air with Bf 110 C-1 (W.Nr. 1357) flown by Leutnant Karl Dahinten (F) and Unteroffizier Otto Wagner (Bf) of Geschwader-Ergänzungsstaffel/ZG 26, both killed, near Ingolstadt.

Could this be the fellow you are interested in?

Horrido!

Leo

Hi Leo,
Yes thanks, Ulrich was his second christian name, he is buried in Sindelfingen, the family home at the time.
Cheers
Joe.
