Feldwebel Kurt Franzke
Hi guys
According to Mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern: die höchstdekorierten Soldaten des Zweiten Weltkrieges by Florian Berger this pilot of 10./JG 26 was serving as the wingman of Hauptmann Josef Wurmheller (102 victories, RK-S), Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 2, on 22 June 1944 when the two fatally collided. He is generally recorded as having been killed in Bf 109 G-6 "Black 1" (W.Nr. 165 169) near Ancinnes, five kilometers south of Alencon, in aerial combat with P-47 fighters of the 365th or 368th FG, USAAF. Could anyone here please confirm or deny that he was the pilot who was involved in the incident that led to the death of Wurmheller? Many thanks. Horrido! Leo
