Nachtjagd crew members
 
Dear gents,

can anyone tell me in which crew flew the following members?

BS Uffz., Fw. Hans-Walter Beckmann 7., 8./N.J.G. 4

BS Uffz. Heinz von Minden 11./N.J.G. 6


Many thanks,
René

Hello René,

I have checked my databases but unfortunately with no results. In general, the Bordschützen were the unsung heroes of the Nachtjagd, rarely got decorations etc. Perhaps Beckmann is mentioned in one of the pages of the KTB XII./Fliegerkorps ? As the NJG 6 was established late 1943, the chance that von Minden shows up in this source is rather small.

Good luck! Marcel

Minden doesn't even get a mention in the NJG 6 book

The NJG 6 war diary is online at the Bundesarchiv as RL 10/452, also lists of victories and medals awarded.

Marcel, Chris & Nick,

thanks for your replies. I looked through all my Bundesachiv files. No results. Only v. Minden is mentioned with the N.J.G. 6 awards. No relations to any crews.
Uffz. v. Minden was participated in 3 night victories to 18.9.44.


Rgds,
René
