Re: Birth/Death details of non Ritterkreuz 50+ aces
Hi Edward
Hans Ellendt now fifty-eight confirmed claims. He died on 25th May 2007. In 1945 tanks were counted as aircraft(however I don't count them......they didn't fly), so Ellendt claimed fifty-six before being wounded on 28th December 1943, then returned to combat in 1945 and claimed two more aircraft, and four tanks. He claimed much Russian material on the ground during 1942-1943.
Manfred Eberwein is still living, but has been very ill for quite some time.
Kind Regards
Johannes
