Oberleutnant Gerhard Senoner - 25 February 1944

Hello

Oberleutnant Gerhard Senoner (12 victories), Staffelkapitän of 1./JG 5, was killed in aerial combat on 25 February 1944. Does anyone have the usual loss list information regarding this incident? Many thanks.

Horrido!

Leo

Re: Oberleutnant Gerhard Senoner - 25 February 1944

Hello Leo,

Peter Schmoll "Die Messerschmitt-Werke im Zweiten Weltkrieg" page 140:
"Die Bf 109 G der I./JG 5 waren ebenfalls zur Abwehr des Angriffes in letzter Minute aus Obertraubling heraus gestartet und lieferten sich heftige Luftkämpfe mit den P-51 „Mustang“. Dabei wurde Oblt Senoner, der zuvor zwei Bomber der 15. USAAF abgeschossen hatte, von den P-51 tödlich getroffen.“
JFV 13/I page 178:
"Die fliegenden Teile der I./JG 5 befanden sich mit einem Umrüstkommando noch immer auf dem Werksflugplatz der Messerschmitt AG in Regensburg-Obertraubling, wo sie im Zuge ihrer Auffrischung neue Maschinen übernahmen…. Die bereits einsatzbereiten Maschinen…. griffen in Platznähe einen B-17 Verband an. Dabei meldete der Staffelkapitän der 1./JG 5 den Abschuss von zwei B-17, bevor er selbst im Luftkampf tödlich abgeschossen wurde; die beiden Abschussmeldungen gelangten nicht zur Anerkennung….".
JFV 13/IV page494:
25.02.44 1./JG 5 Oblt Gerhard Senoner Staffelkapitän † Luftkampf, Obertraubling, 100% Bf 109 G-6 no WNr.

Regards
Leo

Hello Leo

Many thanks for your kind assistance with my question. It's a pity that the Werknummer of this machine is unknown but that's that way it is and there's not much we can do about it. The extra information you added regarding his final combat was very interesting and useful as well.

Horrido!

Leo
