Re: Last fight of Eduard Tratt on 22.02.44. Need additional info.
Oberhansly was commanding officer of the 82nd FS (78th FG) from Aug 7, 1943 to May 18, 1944; on leave from May 18 to Aug 22; CO again until the 28th, then Deputy Group CO of the 78th FG until Dec 3; and finally Deputy Group CO of the 4th FG until Feb 26, 1945. All his victories are with the 82nd FS, or the 78th FG (his last). On Feb 22 he is redited with a Me-109 damaged and a Me-109 destroyed; both at Köln; an FW-190 destroyed at Gilze-Rijen; and two half shares in FW-190s at Walcheren Island. All are timed at 1510 hours, because the combat report specifies no other time for his combats. He was flying P-47D--11RE 42-75406 MX-Z.
Frank.
