Hello Heuser !

OFw. Helmut Nietzschmann, Geschwaderstab JG 4, took off at 10:33 h with his Geschwader-Kommodore to a flight in the front area. At about 11:45 h over Naurath, which is about 12 km N/E of Trier, Germany, they met 12 SPITFIRES of No. 421 Sq, which claimed two "Me 109" as shot down. The time is given as 11:45 h and the location is given with Trier in their Operational Log.

Helmut Nietzschmann was initially buried in Naurath ans his father received a letter, dated 2 January 1945 from the Kommodore, describinng the events that day.
