Re: Hptm. von Niebelschütz, Kdr. IV./NJG5 KIA or WIA 2/3.1.44?

Hello,

I finished a job in which I talk about von Niebelschütz. He was born in Stettin the 19 april 1914. His real name was Hans-Wolf Kurt Balthasar von Niebelschütz. Father : Wolf Ernst Felix Hermann Hans Balthasar von Niebelschütz. Mother : Marie Anna Frieda Klara Luzie Doris Sophie von Niebelschütz.
His career informations are apparently true. But it is clear that he died on the night from first to second January 1944 (estimated hour: 4h45). I enclose a copy of his official death certificate (city of Prenzlau) published on October 28, 1944. I read on "Kracker Luftwaffe" that he lead the NJG 2 in late January and February 1944: it is impossible. It also does not appear that he got the DKG nor the Ehrenpokal. I only found 9 officially attributed victories and not 11 as stated (5 at NJG 4 and 4 at NJG 5).
