Gerhard Thyben late war claims
 

Hi Guys

I believe that Thyben's logbook survived the war with him, yet my list for him is either incomplete, or contains several u/c. My micro film listing for him match Ernst Obermeier's biography on him exactly, but beyond the last micro film entries I have a few missing. Also does anybody have the date of his promotion to Oberleutnant? should be somtime in early 1945.

Here's what I have for Thyben post micro films(all with 7./JG 54):-

14th December 1944 Il-2 1216 hrs Nr.117
14th December 1944 Il-2 1224 hrs Nr.118
15th December 1944 Pe-2 1112 hrs Nr.119
15th December 1944 Pe-2 1124 hrs Nr.120
15th December 1944 Pe-2 1125 hrs Nr.121
21st December 1944 LaGG-7 1149 hrs Nr.122
21st December 1944 Il-2 1205 hrs Nr.123
21st December 1944 Pe-2 1220 hrs Nr.124
21st December 1944 Il-2 1221 hrs Nr.125
22nd December 1944 Pe-2 1139 hrs Nr.126
22nd December 1944 Jak-9 1147 hrs Nr.127
22nd December 1944 Jak-9 1148 hrs Nr.128
22nd December 1944 Il-2 1420 hrs Nr.129
22nd December 1944 Il-2 1421 hrs Nr.130
23rd December 1944 Pe-2 0855 hrs Nr.131
23rd December 1944 Pe-2 0856 hrs Nr.132
23rd December 1944 Pe-2 0859 hrs Nr.133
29th December 1944 Pe-2 0957 hrs Nr.134
29th December 1944 Pe-2 1001 hrs Nr.135
29th December 1944 Pe-2 1002 hrs Nr.136
29th December 1944 Il-2 1430 hrs Nr.137

I believe my shortcomings are within 1945:-

20th January 1945 Il-2 1457 hrs
20th January 1945 Il-2 1459 hrs
26th January 1945 Airacobra 1031 hrs
26th January 1945 Airacobra 1032 hrs
30th January 1945 Il-2 1304 hrs
9th February 1945 Jak-3 1324 hrs
9th February 1945 Jak-3 (no time, unconfirmed ?)
17th February 1945 Jak-9 0755 hrs
17th February 1945 LaGG-7 1415 hrs
17th February 1945 LaGG-7 1416 hrs
17th February 1945 Il-2 (no time, unconfirmed ?)
23rd February 1945 Il-2 0800 hrs
23rd February 1945 Il-2 1550 hrs
23rd February 1945 Pe-2 1600 hrs
23rd February 1945 Jak-3 1608 hrs
24th February 1945 Jak-9 1348 hrs
5th March 1945 Il-2 1432 hrs
8th March 1945 Pe-2 Baltic Sea west of Liepaja 0754 hrs Nr.157?

Grateful if anybody can fill in the gaps, assume most over the courland pocket?
