Re: Death of Dieter Voight of 6./Sg2

Hi Guys

Yes, the "103" is fake. eight months as a trainer with SG151 would explain his abrupt end to claiming! I did list 17 clims for him, but I should mention that between mid-January 1944 and 30th May 1944 II./SG2's claims are fragmentary, so he may have got others in this timespan, in fact it is highly probable that he did. He flew with August Lambert who was dis-liked by the Gruppe adjutant, don't know why, jealousy perhaps, the French surname, or did he suspect Lambert of fraudulent claims? the Staffel apparently used to leave behind a Schwarm to cover there retreat, all of this schwarm used to make huge number of claims! Co-incidently Lambert made 103 claims(not the 116 or 127 we are led to believe), but then again this whole schwarm stops making claims at the same time, there is a fair chance that Voigt followed Lambert as wingman, I tried to match the 103 to Lambert but it didn't fit. Strange thing about "Voigt's" alleged 103 is it names the witnesses!

Regards

Johannes
