Checking Prien's II./JG 27 book it was either
Lt Josef Torfer - i.V. up to 18.7.1943, or
Hptm Otto Meyer from 20.7.1943

Cheers

Hi Stig, many thanks looking at the signature in the wehrpass I have of the pilot- FRITZ MEIKSTAT who belonged to II/5.JG27 it does'nt look like either of the names you mentioned signed it I will look again at it.
Regards Steven
