Hi Steven,

Hptm Gerhard Bock was St.Kap. 1.(F)/100 and was awarded the DKiG 13Jun44. However he is listed as a beobachter not a flugzeugfϋhrer (but many aufklärer were combined beobachter/flugzeugfϋhrer).

Maybe someone an provide the loss details so we can see how he is listed in the Gen.Qu. loss return.

Best Regards

Andy Fletcher

Bock went missing in the Mosyr-Owrutsch-Sarny-Luninec area in Ju 88 T5+JH Wk Nr 430673 with Fw Alfred Braun-F, Uffz Erich Schult-BS & Gefr Walter Joeris-BF. He was the Beobachter and had been shot down 1 May 44 and he and his crew walked back. His EKM was 53510 so that might help with the unit. A number of documents from Bock are floating around-I have some nice photos of him with 1/100

Further to what Chris said about documents floating around. I have a copy of his 'Kriegsbeurteilung' report from when he went missing. Please contact me if you would like some more information.
