Oberfeldwebel Heinrich Klöpper 3./JG 2

Hello Johannes

I hope that you had a pleasant vacation and nice holidays. Your suspicions that Klöpper served with 3./JG 2 are correct. Christer Bergström in More Luftwaffe Fighter Aircraft in Profile writes "With eighty-two marks on his killboard, Klöpper was posted to I./JG 2 Richthofen in the spring of 1943..." and Prien in JFV 10/IV lists him with four victories during his time with that Staffel.

82 17.1.1943 15:32 Spitfire 05 Ost / 0021 at 400 m
83 10.2.1943 11:21 Spitfire Ornemündung at 200 m
84 13.3.1943 15:30 Spitfire 30 km W Sommemündung at 7,000 m
85 28.3.1943 12:31 Spitfire S Beachy Head at 8,000 m

I hope that you are well and that this helps you.

Horrido!

Leo
