Walter Ibold

[Peter Kassak]

Hi all

I am looking for more information and mainly for PHOTO of Walter Ibold, who flew during WWII with I./ZG 76, I./JG 76 and IV./JG 300 and achieved several victories at each unit.
I think he survived the war, so someone here could be in contact with him. Anyone of help? THANKS

..he certainly survived since he furnished a number of accounts of his service with IV./JG300 for the Lorant/Goyat 'Bataille dans le ciel d'Allemagne'....he also contributed to Theo Boiten's 'Battles with the Luftwaffe' ...I do recall that in one of his letters he describes shooting down a P-51 while flying the Me 410

I have Lorants book, so know about his part of his career.
Is the letter copy possible to read? And possibly some photo of him? I list only two claims of Walter Ibold at ZG 76 while flying Me 410, both B-17s....He claimed MUstangs later on with JG 76 and IV./JG 300.
THANKS
