Hi Guys

Helmut mischke is a bit of an enigma. I have sixteen claims for him from 26th May 1943 until 8th April 1944 with 6./SG2. Then I have thirty-five with III./SG4 in 1945, however 1945 documents mention some of his later claims Nr. 40-42 on 3rd March 1945 with III./SG3, Nr. 43-44 on 8th March 1945 with 13./SG151, and Nr. 45-48 on 10th March 1945 with III./SG1. With these being numbered he seems to have had at least sixty-two victories! his DKiG is disputable, never received the Ritterkreuz. But it's the units that get me, was he on secondment to them?, 6./SG2 left behind a schwarm(Lambert being the foremost) after attacks, to fend off Russian fighters, yet Mischke seems to be jumping from unit to unit again I suspect he was on secondment to provide protection from Russian fighters! He survived the war, yet we hear nothing about him, can anybody enlighten me?

Grateful for any assistance on this.

Kind Regards

Johannes
