Hi Edward

25 air to air victories is probably a huge exaggeration, unless he served in Russia, which I doubt as final rank was only Feldwebel.
He was born on 30th September 1921, and died on 24th May 2000.

Four claims(three confirmed by micro films)

13th June 1944 2./ZG 76 B-24 1008 hrs 7000 metres H.S.S Nr.1
2nd July 1944 2./ZG 76 B-17 North of Komorn 1102 hrs 7000 metres Nr.2
19th September 1944 2./JG 76 P-51 Sinsen area 1600nhrs 500-600 metres Nr.3
14th January 1945 14./JG 300 P-51 Stendal/Havelberg Nr.4.

Also I think flew with SG101 and JG 26. Does not seem to have been shot down at any time, unless a more enlightened enthusiast can come up with some details.

Kind Regards

Johannes
