Thank you so much for this info. Do you know if Kurt Liedke survived the war??? I hope you will find a photo of Kurt Liedke. Thank you very much

I believe he did survive. No joy with photo as yet-maybe Theo Boiten can help?

Hello Chris,

If it is possible, I would love to see (or receive) a photo of Liedke too, as he was Staffelkapitän of the 1./NJG 1.

Unfortunately, after Hptm. Reinhold Knacke's death in February 1943, the number of photographs of his Staffel drops dramatically. Therefore I still have no pictures of Knacke's successor Horst Pause and Pause's successor Kurt Liedke.

Many thanks in advance ! Marcel

Marcel, no luck even in the Pers file?
PERS 6/158125 Leutnant Pause, Horst
Geburtsdatum 8.4.1918

Hello Peter,

Thanks for responding, I just recently know that one can request digitized PERS 6 files as well, so I made a 'to do' list of airfield Venlo personalities with their PERS 6 file numbers. Of course Horst Pause, Kurt Liedke and many other 'obscure' people are on my wish list.

Now that I have a priority list, I have heard and read that requests are difficult/not possible because all the files will be moved to BA/MA Berlin, but I will give it a try, perhaps the already digitized files are potentially accessible.

Let's hope that this thread is read by some JG 53 expert who already has Liedkes file...

All the best, Marcel

Marcel, maybe when you ask personal researcher at Ba-Ma, you can have it within a week?
I strongly advice that becauise PERS files should be out of reach for at least a 1,5 year what I have heard

Hello Peter,

Thanks for your advice, will give it a try ! Best regards,

Marcel

If I have a photo it will be from his time with JG 53. As to BA/MA requests, indeed ask someone like Sebastian Remus but I have a feeling you will have to have luck with the closure at the end of the month
