Ofw. Ulrich Veh - JG 300

[Jim P.]

Does anyone know the fate of Ulrich Veh from JG 300. The old nightfighter loss list done by Hoehler claims he was killed in a crash on 6.Mar.44, however this loss does not appear in the new Lorant book.

Soweit bekannt fiel Ofw. Ulrich Veh bei einem Tagesangriff einer amerikanischen Bombergroup am 8 März 1944 - er flog bei diesem Zeitpunk nicht mehr bei der I./JG 300, sondern bei der I./NJGr. 10. Seine Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 zerschellte in der Nähe von Treuenbrietzen. Ursache bisher unbekannt.

Congratulations on your JG 300 work.

A side note on Veh which you and Jim may have already. Bf 109G-6 crash due to enemy action at 14.30 hrs. 109 Wrk. # 15262 ?

Many thanks for the kind words to you both Erich and John. Next time you will perhaps enjoy my poor home-made english... John, your Bodenplatte book will remain for the rest of my life one of my favourites !

Cheers, Jean-Yves

Thank you Mr. Lorant for that clarification. And congrats on the publication of your book. And to John M. - the book is definitely worth the wait!!

I would appreciate any information on Ulrich Veh.

From the research I have made I believe Veh shot down my Father's Lancaster (JA 708) over Mannheim on September 23rd 1943. I am in the process of researching my Father's war time experiances and any information about Ulrich Veh would be of great interest.

That is JA 708. I don't know how the smiley got there.
