Re: Heinz Marquardt and Kurt Tanzer
Thanks Andrew
This does tie Tanzer to a place, and unit.
With regards to Marquardt Bernd Barbas has released online a biography about him.
Is strange that Tanzer takes so long to return to combat. As I remember he was shot in a hand, lost a lot of blood. But you would think that he would be returned to combat after a short break. Perhaps he had other wounds also. In 1945 seems that everybody came crawling out of the woodwork back to combat.
The absolute shame is that we didn't start the process of investigating Tanzer's total whilst some of his konrads were still alive.
Tanzer would be perfect to be set-up in a "fake information" game i.e a cheap Ritterkreuz, then died so early on, before real interest was being shown in the great aces. Maybe someday a flugbuch will surface !
Kind Regards
Johannes
