JG3 SHOT DOWN 6/ 9/40 MARSDEN KENT.
WENT TO FAME IN AUGUST 28TH 40 BY CLAIMIN 6 HURRICANES! WHILE LANDING. A VERY TALL TALE BUT I BELIEVE HIM THE RAF COVERED IT UP.
HE ARRIVED BACK IN BERLIN APRIL 41 SHOT DOWN 16 USSR PLANES OUT OF HIS 22.WITH JG53
THEN IN OCT 41 WITH HIS UNIT WITH A NEW FIGHTER ME 109 F4 HE DIVED DOWN IN THE SEA OFF HOLLAND NO MAYDAY GIVEN AT AT ALL, NO TRACE WAS FOUND EVER.
HE WAS MY HERO.AS A KID.
