Fw Saalfeld, 2./KG 101
 

Does anyone have a christian name for this pilot and his possible fate?

Not Heinz Saalfeld formerly KG 54?

Hi Chris,

I have the flight log of Saalfeld, Heinz. He survived the war and flew some Mistel (AM 75, AM 77) for the Allies to November 1945.

In his FB are also some flights from 1956. I have no information about his fate.

Regards Peter

Most helpful again. So he was the KG 54 Saalfeld it would appear and survived the war

Regards

Chris

Yes, he flew for the KG 54 from 1.43 to 1.44, after that Lachen-Speyerdorf (Ar 96, Bf 108 and Bf 109, retraining for fighters I think), from 2.44 to 5.45 Mistel tests and sorties, last wartime flight on 05.05.45 at Tirstrup.
