Thanks for the reply.
Back in 2007 on this forum I had asked about biographical info. on a "Hptm. Krauss":
Hptm. ??? Krauss - 2 abschuße - ♠ II./JG 53 (4./JG 53)
At that time there were no replies. I knew he fit somewhere in there between Dinger and Seeger but lacking a first name (there were plenty of Krauss and Krause's) I wasn't sure. i now know him to be:
Hptm. Willy Krauss
08.43 - Appointed Staffelkapitän 4./JG 53 - 04.44
If its not to much trouble does anyone have any more info. on Willy Krauss? In some sources he is credited with 1 air victory and in Tony Woods' list he is listed with 2:
02.09.43 - Hptm. Krauss: 1 - 4./JG 53 - P-38 - 55 km. S. Insel Ischia
07.01.44 - Hptm. Krauss: 2 - 4./JG 53 - P-38 - 40 km. S.E. Marburg
Also, who replaced him as Staka of 4./JG 53 (acting or otherwise)?
Again thanks for the help,
