Re: Gauthier and Bf109 2/NAGr-13 27 February 1945
Hello Keith,
Haase was not the victim of Gauthier but of Capitaine Wagner who made a Claim not bei Horb but near Oberhamersbach, which is not far away from Gutach.
2./NAGr. 13 / Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 / # 230816 / Reconnaissance Flight / / Dogfight with Spitfire - Capitaine Wagner - GC 2/7 - Nice / Crashed near the „Prechtaler Schanze“, southwest of Gutach/Black Forrest (Baden-Württemberg) - Germany / Fahnenjunker-Feldwebel Wolfram Sigurd Haase / Bailed out - approached and shot at by Spitfire pilot while hanging on Parachute - killed. According to the French post-war version, parachute jump - parachute not open - KIA. Eyewitnesses report, however, that the Fahnenjunker was approached by a Spitfire and shot
A further Bf 109 was shot at by three Spitfires of the same Group and make a crashlanding near Villingen, which is not far awy from Horb. Claimants in this case were Lieutenant Prunget, Sergent Roussel and Capitaine Gauthier (all three 0,333 Portion)
Cheers
Fred
