Re: JG132 Ofw.Fritz Hillmann

Obfw. Fritz Hillmann served in the Spanish Civil War with 2./J 88 gaining three victories during July 1937. At the outbreak of WW 2, he was serving with 3./JG 53. Hillmann claimed a RAF Blenheim shot down on 14 May 1940. He ran out of fuel on a mission on 15 May 1940 and was forced to bale out of his Bf 109 E-3. I have seen him variously credited with a total of seven or 10 victories.

Cheers
Gordon
