Identification of Fighter Pilots in Toliver book "The Interrogator"
To explain, the second edition of Ray Toliver's book, "The Interrogator" [Great Thrift Store Find} , the book about the career of Hans Scharff, the Luftwaffe fighter interrogator, had a Log book showing the POWs who went through his office from January-December 1944. These were mostly fighter pilots, although some were South Africans from non fighter squadrons, presumably due to Herr Scharff's long residence in SA.
There are two fighter pilots I have been unable to ID. One is definitively South African and the other is probably SAAF also.
(1) Jan. 6 1944 1st Lt. RABIE SAAF 4 Sq (presumably 4SAAF) 7th wing
(2)-Dec. 30 1944 1st Lt. LOCK 5 Sq (5 SAAF?) 239 Wing
239 Wing flew Kittyhawks and Mustangs in the Middle East.
Any information welcomed.
