Hi,

Oblt. Knieling was shot down on 07.07.1944 or one night earlier as their seems some doubt about the date (Personalverluste, M.Balss).
But also about the unit he belonged when shot down: Stab./NJG 6 (Career summaries & Personalverluste) or Stab. - III./NJG 6 (in die Personellen Verluste, Veit Scherzer). When you take a look at the code 2Z+BD one can asume he belonged to the Stab of III. Gruppe. I know you can’t always count on this.
Perhaps someone has more info/sources to determine the unit he belonged at the moment of his last ‘feindflug’.
Kind regards,

Dirk
