Ofw Hans Berschwinger 4./NJG 2

This pilot was killed in action night of 15 Feb 44. He was awarded the EP 23 Aug 43 and appears to have got the DKiG posthumously. I can only find 7 claims for him starting 9 April 1941 and ending 18 October 1943; is this correct?

Chris

Johannes credits him with a total of 12 claims.
He made three on 20 Jan 1944 and two more on the 29th
Also says he received the DKiG on 11 April 1944.
Oddly enough he lists his date of death as 15 April 1944, which must be a mistake since Berschwinger
was lost on 15 Feb 1944 in a Ju 88 C-6 WNr 750499

Hi Stig -please check the NCA series, I'm currently working 24/7 to finish the series so can't present the differences here.

Cheers, Theo
