Bf109G-14 of 7./JG11, Dec.1944

[Oberst]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody could provide a list of WNr.'s for the Bf109G-14/AS's that flew with 7./JG11 in December 1944. I'm particulary interested in the Bf109G-14/AS flown by Fhr. Theo Nau. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Bf 109G-14/AS, 785971, Nau, Fhr. Theodor, 7./JG 11, gelbe 4 + -, 14-Jan-45, WIA due to Luftkampf., RLV, Prien & Rodeike, JG 1 & 11, III, p.1641, bei Kaiserslautern, 100%, F

Thanks very much for the information! Comment though, I was under the impression that Theo Nau Bf109G-14/AS he flew in January of 1945 was gelbe 18 + -. Interesting.

Maybe flying a different machine when he was WIA?

[Oberst]

I never thought of that. Perhaps you are correct. You wouldn't happen to have the WNr. for gelbe 18 + - would you?

[John Beaman]

No, afraid not. At least not for 7 Staffel.

Bf 109G-14/AS, 785787, gelbe 3, 7./JG 11, Fw. Herbert Kraschinski
Bf 109G-14/AS, ??????, gelbe 18, 7./JG 11, Fhr. Theo Nau

Dear Friends, here are the answer from Theo Nau :

"Der Inahlt ist richtig. Nur, als ich abgeschossen wurde, flog ich die gelbe 4 mit der Werk Nr. 785 971.

Die Feldwebel Schwarz und Kraschinski wurden am 1.1.45 durch Flak beim Angriff auf Asch abgeschossen. Beide sind in Lommel beigesetzt".

Gruss und Horrido

Thank you very much for the reply. My German is rusty but I got the gist of it.

' the content is correct. was shot down in 'yellow 4' WNr. 785 971,
Schwarz and Kraschinski were downed by flak in the attack on Asch
on 1.1.45. they are buried at Lommel '
