Hptm Dietrich Kornblum 9/NJG 2
This officer transferred with two others from II/KG 53 to convert to night fighters. He is credited with one kill (10-11 Nov 44) before he was apparently killed attacking "a British mine-layer" with 9/NJG 2 27-28 Nov 44. Can anyone add anything to his demise?

Re: Hptm Dietrich Kornblum 9/NJG 2
Christian: Thanks for this (I had it already) and thanks for your kind comments on my book.
What I am seeking is how and why he crashed as there appears to be no RAF link Chris

Re: Hptm Dietrich Kornblum 9/NJG 2
Hi Chris,
Sorry for the late reply but we have been on holiday..... After looking at the Wehrpaß of Herr Kornblum unfortunately there is nothing further to add. The entry was made 2.1.1945 from news in a letter dated 28.12.1944 that he was missing in action on 27.11.1944 over the home war zone whilst serving with III/N.J.G. 2. Regards, Ian
