Re: Fw. Hans Richter I/NAGr.1 24-12-1944
Fhj.-Fw. Hans Schuster, not Richter!!!, sorry for my mistake!!! (getting older!!) was member with 2./NAGr. 1, the former 4.(Eins.)/F 123. The unit moved at 4. September 1944 from Trier-Euren to Niedermendig and left this Airbase around 20. Februar 1945! Schuster was shoot down in Combat at 24. Dezember 1944 in the Area of Trier near the Border of Luxembourg (I found the crashplace of his 109G-6/G-8. His Rottenflieger was able to came back to Niedermendig.) He bailed out but landed near a small village in Luxembourg and became PoW. At around 1956 he contacted the WASt in Berlin and left Germany for an new life in Australia. Richter get the DiK for over "100 erfolgreiche Bildeflüge", he has also 5 or more Abschüsse.
At Niedermendig was also an Nachtkette from NAGr. 13 with Fw 189, they lost one of this planes during take off. (Ardennenoffensive)
