Heinkel He 46 - Hermann Gade
Good afternoon Gentlemen,
Career Summaries - Luftwaffe Officers 1935 - 1945 by Henry L. deZeng IV and Douglas G. Stankey includes the following entry:
GADE, Hermann. 10.43 Lt., 1./Störkampfgruppe Luftflotte 4 (to 18.10.43 then 1./NSGr. 7). 02.12.43 Lt., 1./NSGr. 7. 11.03.44 Lt., 1./NSGr. 7 KIA - He 46 (DB+ZC) shot down 500 m WNW of Kolo. Credited with 1009 missions.
The mission count seems unnaturally high for someone without Knight's Cross (and for such a short service duration). Does somebody of you know more about this pilot ?
Cheers,
Michael
