Helmut Tietze
 

Hi,

i'm currently searching for a friend information about a Luftwaffe member, but we almost have no details.
(Finally it is strange, as i had until now no succes at all with my
research efforts via WASt, Volksbund and DRK about a "Tietze" matching the few given details.)

Name:
Helmut Tietze.
Born 1920 in Breslau.
He was in August 1943 based for a while near munich.
The family was told after war, he died in autumn 1943 in italy.

Any info and details is most appreciated

Thanks a lot for help

Lino

Hi Alain57,

thanks a lot for info. I know this information,
but finally it seems to me, he died "too early".

The Tietze i'm looking for was at least alive until
august 1943. (As there was a possible proove
for his activities/existence nine month later )

Regards

Lino

Exactly, the Helmut Tietze KIA on 26 February 1943 was from JG 2, not form JG 54:

So, there must have been another pilot called Helmut Tietze.

Unfortunately, I can't give you any more detailed information.

Lieber Lino,
Sie haben mir zwar Ihre Adresse nicht gegeben, also schicke ich Ihnen die versprochenen Scans ueber das Forum.
Ich habe aber sehr wenig Raum uebrig, also werde ich die Scans entfernen muessen.

I am sorry. It was intended to be a personal message, but I realised it was impossible to add an attachment, so I copied the message rather thoughtlessly and attached the scans (which I have removed by now because they were taking up almost all the the space allowed for attachments).
