[Asso di bastoni]

Hi Andrew,

Thank you very much for your support. I am looking for information about Unteroffizier Wilhelm Kluge, pilot in the 3./SG 10. A close friend of mine found among the inheritance from his late great aunt a set of award documents of this young pilot, who apparently was her boyfriend during the war. The problem is that nobody in the family knows anything about him, save from the fact that he died in action. This friend asked me if I could help him by doing some research, but there are not many elements to start from. So I've decided to ask the very best in the field on this forum.

What we know is that he was awarded the Frontflugspange in Bronze on June 6, 1944; the silver one on the 7th of august and the golden one on the 24th of october of the same year. He was also awarded the Ek II and the Ek I.

I would really appreciate if you shared with me documents dealing with the operations of I./SG 10 during the whole of 1944 to the disbandement of the Geschwader, so that I could reconstruct at least the context around the operational career of this pilot. Moreover, I might find the date of his death and the Flugzeugkennung in the Verlustmeldungen.

Thank you again for your offer and kind support!

Cheers, Elia
