Re: message in a bottle : Friedrich Kißlinger (2/JG101)
Hello Guys,
The WASt report has Uffz Kißlinger killed in a Bf 109 E, Werknummer 1572, red 5, on 31.1.1944. This is quite fitting, as this a/c was also reported damaged 35% on 29.8.1942 at Vragenburg, belonging to Luftzeuggruppe Belgien/Nordfrankreich and again 35% on 5.3.1943 at Laleu, this time with JGr Ost. I have it last mentioned 28.12.1944 at Hagenow (Ultra HW 5/643).
The loss of Uffz Riedel was reported with GQM like WNr 1572 and on 22.09.1941. This almost certainly is a typing error, as the incident is reported in WAST with Bf 109 E, Werknummer 5127. I have no other reports on this Werknummer. Such errors are quite common in GQM-returns.
Riedels loss was reported at "Golf of Perekopskij" and his grave as "in der See" what makes me think, he crashed into open water and so the a/c ws a 100% loss. Also the date is given as 14.09.1941.
HTH
Carl
