Re: Uffz. Wilhelm Weber, 10./JG 51
Hi Leo and Johannes,
Thank you very much for the information.
It's interesting because in the OKL lists of victories in the East, Uffz. Weber is listed as Wilhelm. Yes, both Webers achieved multiple kills on some of the same days. Fortunately, they cannot be confused thanks to their ranks and staffel (7./JG 51 vs. 10./JG 51). Is it possible that his full name was Wilhelm Karl-Heinz Weber? This pilot, born in 1923, was awarded the EP two days before his death on September 20, 1943, together with Rudolf Wagner from 10./JG 51.
Johannes: May I ask on which days you have two extra victories?
Uffz. Weber shot down 27 aircraft from June 8, 1943, to August 5, 1943, and then the last two (28th and 29th victories) on September 20, 1943.
OKL has this pilot's victories listed as follows: 2x June 8, June 14, June 28, 3x July 5, 4x July 6, 2x July 9, July 11, 5x July 13, 4x July 14, 2x July 17, 2x August 5, 2x September 20.
Johannes, you're right, Uffz. Weber probably never got DK.
Thank you very much, have a nice day.
