Re: Fighter pilot Reinhold Liebel?
I received a few more bits of information about airman Liebel.
Born on 17 April 1923 in Fürth. This means that if the caption written by him under the above photo is correct, he must have been only 17 when he scored his first kill. Is this realistic? If the date is rather 1941, then he was 18.
His commander was Hptm. Kirschner, while his comrade Fw. Bartels. Does this help in identifying his unit?
He wrote on his Bf 109 the nick-name 'Peterle', just like his cat was called back home.
That's it, for now.
