Franz Dörr JG5

Hi,

The excellent Career Summaries – Luftwaffe Officers 1935 – 1945 Section A – F by Henry L.deZeng IV and Douglas G.Stankey (version 01.04.2019) mentions that Franz Dörr (DOB: 10.02.13 in Mannheim) was during 1939-1940 Aufklärungsflieger and that he was transferred to 1.(Eins.)/Erg.Gr./JG3 c.04.41 and later to JG5. He was credited with 437 combat missions and 128 air victories.

Was he the observer of the Hs126 of 2.(H)/23 which crashed on 14/05/1940 near Jehonville, Belgium ?

Thanks in advance !

Luc
