Hi Remi,

Dr. Priens JG53 book shows Uffz Wilhelm Holtfreter 9/JG53 crash-landed on Bodenplatte unwounded. The index shows a Ofw. Heinz Polak III/JG53 last mentioned on 4-4-45.
The Bodenplatte book shows Fw August Bernpohl 8/JG53 wounded on Bodenplatte, there is a Fj.Uffz Grell of JG3 killed on Bodenplatte and both Ltn. Dieter Hartel of 5/JG53 and Uffz Helmut Schneider of 7/JG 53 were reported missing but returned safe,

Regards

You are right Brian the names look a bit odds, hertel is Hartel , bernpohl right, Greller is Göller
So quite good things for John Manrho,
