Hermann Leiste

Hello JD

I have regarding his loss list information:

11 April 1941: Oberfähnrich Hermann Leiste of 7./JG 54 suffered landing accident in Bf 109 E-4 at Fünfkirchen
8 June 1942: Leutnant Hermann Leiste of 4./JG 54 listed as missing in Bf 109 F-4/R1 "White 7" (W.Nr. 13 131) due to Flak 10 kilometers north of Krestzy at 15:15

My information is that he was credited with 29 victories on the Eastern Front and awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on 27 July 1942. I hope that this helps out somewhat.

Horrido!

Leo
