Re: unidentified claimants within JG76.
Lt. Heribert Breukal, geb. 17.03.1923. Surname according to NVM. But indeed a strange name.
In the VDK Database he is as "Herbert Broukal"....and was born in Jajce/Yugoslavia.....so his name maybe be mispelled/different/germanized..... Last edited by John Manrho; 21st January 2024 at 13:50. Reason: More info |

Re: unidentified claimants within JG76.
Hi Guys
Excellent work, certainly does help.....a lot. The Mikrofilms definately state Ofw for Disch, I checked just to make sure, but either the loss record or the mikrofilm could be wrong, well must be wrong.....Franz Disch it is then. With Breukal I checked the mikrofilms again, there is an overwrite where the "L" is which made me believe it was a "T", I would swear the third letter was an "A" not an "E" but too many things suggest you are perfectly correct in your choice of pilot Heribert Breukal it is then. Again many thanks for your help. P.S "Janauke" could be "Sanauke" or "Sananke" anything like that. Kind regards Johannes |

Are there more info available about this pilot? At October 8th he was based in Huefingen, south Germany, I am living very close to this former airfield but have limited info about this specific pilot. Tanks in advance, Rolf Last edited by Rolfeb; 4th February 2024 at 18:59. Reason: Typo |
