Re: II.JG1

Hi, guys.

Returning to July 4th 1944, I have the following summary losses for the units:

II./J.G.1:

2 aircraft category 1 (missing on operational flight due to enemy inflicted damage), personnel losses are 1 officer and 1 non-officer

1 aircraft category 22 (destroyed on a non-operational flight, usually these are landing and take-off accidents or engine problems etc), in this accident no personnel where wounded or killed.

III./J.G.51:

No losses reported

(II./J.G.51 reports one FW 58 damaged with no personnel losses)

So - if Weissbrodt was one of the pilots reported by II./J.G.51 he would at least as far as the GenQu was concerned be in a MIA status, not reported as KIA. Later corrections might of course have altered this.

But - I feel that without a grave location or definite NVM report showing this to have been fatal for him we should treat this as a MIA case on both occasions until further evidence surfaces.

Of course.... when I logged into the VDK database this morning it was down for maintenance....

Regards,
Andreas B
