Hi,

I just know that the Ritterkreuzträger and Stuka ace Helmut Fickel (III/St.G 2 "Immelmann"), passed away on April 6th 2005. He was born on November 27th, 1921 in Meiningen and flew more than 800 combat mission during the war. He was awarded with the Knight´s Cross by Rudel, on June 9th, 1944.

R.I.P.

My beloved grandfather Hans Brahmstädt, plane mechanic at Stuka-Geschwader Immelmann, passed away on 17 th of may 2006.

He left me a lot of photos which he could save, especially from activities in russia and greece. I keep them as a heritage but I don´t want to hide them from the rest of the world.

My question: is there anyone, who may recognize his relatives on these photos and is interested maybe in sharing some ?

My name is Mirco, living in Berlin, Germany. Please contact me via e-mail or here. I actually found this forum while researching for any survivors of "Immelmann"
