NAG 12 pilots

[David Pausey]

Hi

Looking for info on these NAG 12 posable losses:-

Major Fleischmann, Gruppenkomendeur lost to Spitfires over Albania(April 44?).

Hptm Schulze-Quente, Saffelkapitan lost to Spitfires in a Fi156 over Albania.

Olt Sylvester

Olt Scholl failed to return about May 5th 1944.

I think these were all lost between Jan 44 to 11th May 44.

Regards
David

1 April 1944: Gruppenkommandeur Maj. Werner Fleischmann shot down by Allied fighters while taking off from or landing at Devoli airfield where he had gone to fly some missions with 1. Staffel. Very badly wounded, he later died while receiving medical care.

Hptm. Günther Schultze-Quentell, Staka 1./NAGr. 12, KIA 27 April 1944 - no details.

I have nothing in my records on Sylvester and Scholl. In our officer data base, there are no Sylvesters but there are 6 Scholls, of which two might have been pilots (Oblt. Rolf Scholl and a Oblt. Rudolf-Heinz Scholl).

If you can put the hours in at Kew you'd likely find details of all or most of them in the HW5 series files of ULTRA decrypts. Units in Greece and Yugoslavia figure very heavily in the early 1944 traffic and I've noticed a lot of material from NAG 12 in there (but precious little form NAG 11 which I'd rather have!).

Thank you all very much for the info. I have looked at the HW 5 files but alas these days I can not get to the NA, still now that they are opening on Saturdays(from2010) I may get to look at these files again.

Hi David,

28 Jan 1944 Lt. Otto Silwester Bf.109G-6 (20368) White 6 1/NAG.12
Uffz.Wolfgang Ostwald Bf.109G-6 (20353) White 8 1/NAG.12

Both reported shot down by Spitfires East of Bari over Sea.

Probably those claimed by P/O. N D Harrison and F/Sgt. T A Miller of 1435 Squadron

Cheers

So far we have SYLVESTER, SILVESTER, and SILWESTER..........keep 'em coming, guys, this is getting interesting! But I think the last one is probably the right one. The Kracker Archive has an Uffz. Walter SILWESTER with 12./JG 77, but no others.

They've been open on Saturdays for years, David (which has been very helpful to me). In 2010 they will be closing on Mondays and the opening hours Tuesday – Saturday will change a bit .

Thank you Bruce just what I was looking for, I had got the pilots names from Oblt.Heinrich Milke POW report when he was shot down on the
11-05-44. The report thought that the other 109 had got away.

Nick I just did not realise that the NA WAS OPEN Saturdays, thanks.

David
