Oberleutnant Herbert Heck

[steven]

Can anyone help with this Pilot I know he was in 2/JG26 and was Killed in Action, 1942 What I would like to know is did he have any victories I was told he may have had 4 but would like this confirmed. I know Tony Wood used to have a site but I dont know if it exists anymore.

Many thanks.

According to our officer career database (http://www.ww2.dk/lwoffz.html) we have:

HECK, Herbert. 07.42 Oblt., in 2./JG 26 (to 30.07.42 †). 30.07.42 Oblt., 2./JG 26 KIA by Spitfires vic Verlinethun - Fw 190 A-2 (black 4).

Additionally, The Tom Kracker database (http://aircrewremembrancesociety.com...anPilotsH.html) says:

Heck, Herbert. - Oblt.

We hope that this helps.

Hi

"Logically",his kills (?) "must" be staggered between 28/08/41 and 20/09/41 and 15/10/41.

According to Prien,seven claims with no names between these dates.
