Re: Josef Schaffer NJG KIA 2/3/44
Hello Milleke (and Matti !),
An additional comment is that Schaffer and Oloff formed a crew since they were members of the I./NJG 1. They escaped disaster in February 1942 when they landed in heavy fog a bit to late and crashed into a barrack of a Luftwaffe anti-aircraft emplacement: Oloff, Schaffer and a gunner escaped with minor injuries, but there were dead and wounded among the FLAK-unit. Heinz Oloff survived WW-2. All the best, Marcel

Hello Matti,
Nearly 100% correct: Oloff died on 14 October 1999 according to my information. All the best, Marcel
