[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Hello all,

I don't want to spoil a good party, but it was not Alfred HELM who was a nightfighterpilot in the I./NJG 1 but Alfred HEMM, according to my primary sources such as:

1.) the KTB of I./NJG 1 (RL 10/539): late December 1944 the crew of Major Hemm & Uffz. Keune got in trouble, Keune ejected himself out of the He219, Hemm was able to land safely in Dortmund.
2.) some machine typed Einsatzbefehle of the I./NJG 1 of 6th and 11th November 1944
3.) the flightlog of Fw. Helmut Fischer who flew with Hemm, 21th Nov. and 6th Dec.1944

It may be that HELM was the oldest nightfighter pilot in the Luftwaffe but not in the I./NJG 1.

All the best, Marcel
