Re: Hackler, Heinrich "Heinz" Stab III/JG-77 Africa
Dear Christian,
His victories are listed in Wikipedia, which is quite an obvious source, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Hackler There is also a French site which lists all the victories of JG 77 in 1943 http://www.cieldegloire.fr/jg_077d.php Unfortunately, I don't have access to any detailed reports of his victories. Yours sincerely, Teresa |
