Re: Klaus Gerlach, WWII German pilot

Or he changed his last name after the war - he wouldn't be the first. There are certainly 'holes' in the Lw records, and since the gentleman was never trying to profit on his earlier exploits, let him RIP.

It's only been the last 10 years or so that this community has had the ability to reference claims documents, via Tony Woods and others, and a lots of other Lw data. Even with that it's only been as Mr. Prien and company have progressed through their JFV series that huge gaps in that record have been filled in.
