Re: Wolfdieter Huy
Can't see what Leo has because his site will not allow me to access his file. I think one must join and pay some undisclosed sum of money. Aryway, here is what we have on him:
HUY, Wolf-Dietrich (Wolfdietrich). (DOB: 02.08.17 in Freiburg/Breisgau). (RE). 01.08.39 in RLM pool, promo to Oblt. 09.39 in Trägerjagdgruppe II./186. 13.08.40 Oblt., in Stab III./JG 77, appt Staka 7./JG 77 (to 29.10.42). 05.07.41 Oblt., awarded Ritterkreuz, Staka 7./JG 77. 03.08.41 Oblt., acting Kdr. III./JG 77 (to 09.41). 25.01.42 Oblt., awarded the Ehrenpokal. 17.03.42 Oblt., awarded Eichenlaub, Staka 7./JG 77. 01.04.42 promo to Hptm. 29.10.42 PoW – shot down by Spitfires over the El Alamein area in North Africa and captured. Credited with over 500 combat missions and 40 air victories. † 13.07.2003 in Gernsbach.
As for the correct pronunciation, someone from Belgium, The Netherlands or Germany would be the best authority on that, but my guess would be WAY in English. Other languages no doubt pronounce it differently.
