Re: Battle vs 394th FS, 367th FG on 24 December 1944
Good evening Laurent !
The German counterpart were FW 190 of I. and III./JG 11.
The dogfight took place over the Moselle and Kyll-river vallies in the vincinity of Kordel, Ehrang, Schweich, Kenn, Mehring and Fell. This is generally located about 10 km NNE from the center of Trier.
Fähnrich Hermann Franz, 12. Staffel, III. Gruppe, came down near Fell-Fastrau, which is in the general vincinity of the dogfight. His FW 190 had the W-Nr. 731798 and was marked with a "blue 8". He was killed in the action and his remains now rest on the military section of the Schweich cemetary.
Well, I must stop now since family purposes at this time now come current. I'm sure, that you may receive more information about this particular event, since it is very well investigated.
If you like, we can do more about at in the weekend days.
All the best !
Horst Weber
