Bf 109 of 2./NAGr. 1, 15.02.45
 

Gentlemen,
I recieved informations about the loss of a Bf 109 G of 2./NAGr. 1 on 15.02.1945 on or near Niedermendig a/f.

The Werk-Nr. is given with 20 523, which is incorrect or incomplete.

Any idea?

Regards,

Heuser

I have 20523 as a G-6 from JG 1 that crashed. The 2./NAG 1 machine lost on the Feb date is:

Bf 109G-6, 230174, Sprünker, Uffz. Richard, 2.NAGr. 1, 14-Feb-45, Killed, hitting obstruction during Notlandung., Lw.Kdo.West, Gen. Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #12), Heumar östlich Köln, 85%

Re: Bf 109 of 2./NAGr. 1, 15.02.45
 

Thank you very much for your reply. There should be some more losses around this date. Uffz. Pepi Lenk (4./123) was killed on 16.02.45 near Wassenach (Bf 109 G-6 230 290?), and a Lt. Lehmann bailed out of his stricken Bf 109G near Bell...

Mr. Bines,
every information about this unit is of great help, so thank you very much!

A very interesting subject for me are the losses of 4.(F)/123, Stab and 2./NAGr. 1 while opererating from Niedermendig, Hadamar and Limburg - I recieved informations of names and lost a/c of this units, but nothing concrete at all.

Best regards
