crash of Me 109 - 2./Na.Gr11 in Italy

hi,
I'm looking for information on the crash of a Me 109 of the Nahaufklärungsgruppe 11 crashed in an air combat with the 350FG on February 23, 1945 in Italy. I am looking for a database of Na.Gr.11, but without results. Can someone help me?

Thank's Elena

Hello Elena,

this may be Fw. Ludwig Soukup from 1st Staffel NAGr 11, mia in the area Padua-Vicenza after Luftkampf. He was flying a Bf 109G6/R2 with MW30 device (sic), Werknummer 230.164 coded "black 10".

WASt reports 23. February 1945, GQM has 25. February 1945.

HTH

If you want a fuller account of this incident, including firsthand testimony from the American airmen involved, there's this book: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/S...taly&kn=&isbn=

Very odd so many books are still on sale, but many sellers do seem to acknowledge its value.
The best book in English so far from the period it covers.
If anyone does not have it, get it, or wait for MAW to reach 1944-45 in Italy

Cheers
Stig

More precisely, Fw. Ludwig Soukup was declared MIA in GQM then Dead in Wast reports.
He fought against 346th FG (not 350), F/O Hosey.

More precisely the 346th Fighter Squadron of the 350th FG. My late friend Ferdinando D'Amico corresponded extensively with veterans of the 350th FG and, I believe, met a few of them when they visited Italy. He had diary entries (personal and official) and letters relating to this engagement and the other one that day (with the Me 410) which formed the basis of the account in the book.

:) Oups ... Thank you for the correction Nick.
I read my documents too quickly.

For some reason, my favourite book full stop. And the one that aroused my interest in the research of ULTRA. If only he was kind to advise me not to waste years of my life (and eyesight) on DEFE3 and move instead on HW5. ;)
