I./JG 51 Pilot
Hi guys
He appears in a photograph published on page 71 of Jagdgeschwader 51 Mölders Eine Bilddokumentation über die Jahre 1938-1945 by Stipdonk and Meyer. He was serving with 2./JG 51 when wounded in aerial combat in Fw 190 A-3 (W.Nr. 0132 278) which crashed near Ljuban on 29 September 1942 according to Prien. The same source also has only one victory listed for him this being on 15 August 1943. My impression is that he was the same fellow serving with 4./JG 53 when lost in aerial combat in Bf 109 G-6/R1 (W.Nr. 140 088) north of Udine on 30 January 1944. Any comments or corrections will be very appreciated.
Horrido!
Leo
