Re: JG132 Ofw.Fritz Hillmann

Gordon & Fran,

These two Hillmanns seem to be different individuals. According to Ries & Ring in "The Legion Condor" an Ofw. Hillmann (no first name given) claimed 3 victories in July 1937. However the Fritz Hillmann of 3./JG 53 was an Unteroffizier in May 1940; bit of a demotion!

Fran, what rank was Fritz Hillmann of JG 132 promoted from and to. If he was promoted to Oberfeldwebel in 1938 then perhaps we are dealing with three individuals.

Tom
