Josef Heinzeller
Does anyone have any extra information on this pilot? He was with JG 137 and I(I)/LG pre-war (and was part of the Luftwaffe aerobatic team); 5/JG 3 up to Aug 41 where he shot down 26 ac (I can only find 25 kills) and was awarded the Ehrenpokal. He then moved to 3/JG 2 and shot down a further 11 ac (I do not have any kills prior to 19 May 42) and was awarded the DKiG. A spell in 1/Jagdgruppe West followed after which he was posted to I/JG 54 in Apr 44 (1 and 2 Staffel) where he shot down another 4 ac and was possibly wounded on 30 May 44. His last kill was, according to me, 27 Oct 44 which could have been his 41st kill.
