Yes, there must be a mistake somewhere!
I am talking of the Hans Krause who flew BF 110 G with NJG 3, later flew with NJG 101 ( Dornier Do 217 ) and NJG 4 ( Ju 88 G ). He was credited with a Mosquito on the night of 7/8 July 1944, while flying with NJGr 10 ( the photograph of his machine is well known ). He answered my queries in 1999, sending pictures and 3 mission descriptions, one of them a ground attack mission during the Ardennes Offensive, in 19 December 1944, when he baled out for the second time with his entire crew.
I read and heard about a Josef Krause, who seems to be the same person ( nickname ? ) as answered on a previous Forum message ( I do not remember if on this Forum or elsewhere, had to check ). It seems impossible to have 2 Hans Krauses on the Nachtjagd. However, if there is, I am talking of the one who finished with 28 victories and the RK, and of course, who someone put here ( and almost all know ) flew during Operation Gisela.
David you seems to be in contact with his family and probably are working on his war diaries too. You could confirm for us that information? Or you are talking of another Krause who flew with the Nachtjagd?
It is becoming quite interesting. Someone do know about his detachment with NJGr 10? For how long did he stay with this unit? His claims also seems to be difficult to solve. Those on the Reich Defense ( NJG 3 ) are findable, but on Hungary and later on….I had a headache!
Well, we all certainly have more to find out about him…
