Additional info on 21 Nachtjäger?
 

Dear all,

For the Nachtjagd War Diaries 2. Edition, I have compiled a total of 1101 short bios of Nachtjäger, Bordfunker and Bordschütze in the Nachtjagd who achieved one or more aerial victories in WWII. For 21 of these men I have not been able to find details about their fate and/or their first names. Who can help? My email address is:

Additional info on 21 Nachtjäger?
 

Hi guys

I have seen information that states that Unteroffizier Albert Kreuzer of 2./JG 2 was killed in Fw 190 A-8 (W.Nr. 170 322) in aerial combat with USAAF P-47 fighters near Vendome on 11 May 1944. Is this correct? If he was engaged by 80 P-47 fighters then it is no wonder he did not make it out alive!

Horrido!

Leo

Hi Frans, Matti and Leo,

Many thanks indeed for your fine contributions, much appreciated! This clears quite a few of the questions that I had. The only one I'm not quite sure of is whether 'my' Hptm. Hitz of 7./NJG4 is Hptm. Günter Hitz of Stab I./SG 77. Hptm. Hitz of 7./NJG4 achieved one sole victory on 22-23.3.44, here's the entry in the manuscript of the NJWD 2nd ed (his name was pretty hard to decipher on the original microfilm records:

Hptm. Hitz: 1 7./NJG4 4-mot Münster-Osnabrück: 6.500 m. 21.37 97 Sqn Lancaster ND351. Note: victory Hptm. Hitz confirmed on 19.8.1944

Cheers, Theo

Very probably not the same Hitz.
1942-11-07, 2./St.G 77, Ju 87 D-1, 2364, Nordwestlich Nogir, nordnordwestlich Ordzonikidze
Flugzeugführer Olt Hitz, Günter, verletzt
Bordfunker Fw Wöllner, Fritz, verletzt
Flakbeschuß. Bruch 100 %.
1944-04-11, 1./SG 77, Ju 87 D-5, 141077, S2+LH, 3 km südwestlich Chodazkow
Flugzeugführer Hptm Hitz, Günter, vermißt
Bordfunker Fw Eschenbacher, Kurt, vermißt
Absturz infolge Flakbeschuß. Bruch 100 %.
EKM of Hitz was assigned in March 1940 by 1./St.G 77.
It would have been strange, if this Hptm Hitz was in the West in 7./NJG 4 in March 1944.

Hi Matti,

Thanks for that -it's exactly my reasoning too re. Hptm. Hitz, it would have been rather strange for Günter Hitz to pop up in the west for a short stint as a Nachtjäger in early 44.

Cheers, Theo
