Does anyone have pictures of NJG 5 my Grandfather Otto Karl Tillack was in NJG 1 then NJG 5 just wondering if there are any pictures of the pilots and also bordfunkers as he was both,

Re: Nachtjagd losses 22-23 April 1944
 

Hello,

Ofw. Otto Tillack served as Bordfunker in 11./NJG5, he was shot down and killed in a Ju88 G-1 by American Mustang fighter aircraft at Weisswasser during a daylight transit flight on 11 April 1944.

Please contact me off board.

Best wishes, Theo
