Ralf:

Thank you for the information, it appears FW Budke's Combat Career was not long. Another victim of the Stalingrad campaign, Are there any websites or books which deal with JG53, I see from your note that along with Mediterranean Operations JG53 was also in USSR ops, Is your first paragraph about Aircraft Budke flew or planes used by JG53, Second paragraph I assume is 22 April 1942 details for JG 53. Thanks again for the information, I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Cheers,

Bob Kalinak
