A Willi Meyer gets a mention on the following sites

http://jpgleize.club.fr/aces/ww2ger.htm This site shows a Willi Meyer with 1 SCW claim and 10 WW2 claims with JG77

http://www.greystonesahs.org/web/j411 This site in part show the following “Following this meal, Goertz met another former internee, Luftwaffe officer George Fleischmann, in Dun Laoghaire's Royal Marine Hotel, where they spent the entire night discussing this offer and what it entailed with Fleischmann encouraging Goertz to accept it. Fleischmann was an Austrian who, along with two other Austrians, had been granted political asylum by de Valera following their request to remain in the country on the grounds that if returned to Austria they might be charged with treason because they had considered themselves Germans. But Goertz suspected that he was being double crossed and that he would be deported back to Germany and spent the next few days in the West of Ireland trying to calm down his nerves.”

Don't know if same Fleischmann as SCW


Still looking at other names

Kind regards
Ross
