Re: Oblt. Johannes Hager 6./NJG 1
I have an original "Abschussmeldung" submitted by Hager for a claim on June 17, 1944. He claimed two victories that night, his 22nd and 23rd.
At that time he was flying an He 219A-0. The supporting docments show his crew as:
Feldwebel von Bergen
Feldwebel Korschgen
Interesting - Pilot and two crewmen. A couple of years ago one of the NASM restorers showed me a third seat - in the lower rear of the fuselage. It was a simple curved piece of plywood. According to him, the third crewman sat there and kept the electronics operating.
There is a photo of Hager on page 99 of Theo Boiten's book "Night Airwar".
I have a partial claim list for Hager from Marcel Hogenhuis. Hager claimed one four engine victory on April 23, 1944 for his 18th victory.
