Uffz Fritz Reimet ? 4./JG 51

[Johannes]

Hi Guys

I think I have identified another name with JG 51. :-

15th April 1944 P-387 1245 hrs Uffz "R.immet" 4./JG 51

It's written by a different hand that wrote clearly on 8th July 1944 1108 hrs Uffz Reimet 5./JG 51

I think the 15th April claim was Uffz Fritz Reimet, which had been mis-spelt Reimmet.

Uffz Fritz Reimet of II./JG 51 was stated as having three claims in the west, of which previous to this I could find only one.

Can anybody comment on this?

Kind Regards

Johannes

Thanks Leo and Karoband for your input.

I am convinced now Fritz is the short version of Friedrich. With Leo's loss details it proved Reimet was with both 4./JG 51 and 5./JG 51 clinching it for me.

Thanks again

Kind Regards

Johannes
