Re: Luftwaffe claims in Med
Stefaan,
III./JG 27 was equipped with the Bf 109G-6 at the time of these claims. Unfortunately I have no info on the specific a/c that each was flying at the time the claims were made. Of the four pilots you name, Lt. Alexander Ottnad was shot down on 18.08.44 becoming a POW. I assume he survived the war but his subsequent fate is unknown to me. Oblt. Kurt Hammel transferred to I./JG 77 and made the last of his 20 claims on 2.05.45. So he appears to have survived the war but may have gone into Soviet captivity and again I know nothing of his subsequent fate. The other two were KIA as follows:
Fhj.Uffz. Friedrich Ullrich on 19.05.44
Lt. Hans-Joachim Hayessen on 23.06.44
Not much I'm afraid but I hope it helps some.
Cheers,
Tom
