Re: Oberleutnant Rudolf Abrahamczic KG2/KG51

This is not much help but in Veit Scherzer's book Die Träger des Deutsches Kreuzes in Gold der Luftwaffe 1941-1945, Abrahamczik (note the spelling) was awarded the DKiG on 12.01.43 as a Leutnant in 6./KG 40. This unit flew the Do 217. In June 1943 6./KG 40 was redesignated 5./KG 2.

As an Oberleutnant and Staffelkapitän of 14./KG 2 he claimed a 4-engine aircraft shot down on the night of 27/28.09.43 while flying an Me 410A.
According to Theo Boiten in Nachtjagd War Diaries, Abrahamczik survived the war with the rank of Hauptmann.

I was unaware that he was a Ritterkreuzträger. Do you have the date of the award?

Best wishes,
Tom
