Re: Lt. Herbert Franke of I./JG 53
We find no Herbert Franke of any JG unit BUT we do find an Alfred Franke that seems to be your man:
FRANKE, Alfred.
(DOB: 20.09.18 in Jena).
c.1940-42 in 2./JG 53.
09.09.42 KIA in collision with an Il-2 north of Stalingrad.
05.10.42 Ofw., posthumously awarded the DKG.
10.42 posthumously promo to Lt.
29.10.42 Lt., posthumously awarded the Ritterkreuz.
Credited with 60 air victories.
This is all we have on this guy. Look into Tony Woods loss and claims website for specific claims.
Good Luck.
