Hi guys
Interesting topic to bring up. Some time ago I discussed this with Ota Jirovec and Gordon Raddock as to if they knew when he was wounded as Obermaier states. It appears that there is no evidence that he was wounded in aerial combat at least as to regarding Prien's JG 51 loss list. Perhaps if he was wounded in May 1942 it was in a ground incident? Interestingly, Obermaier states that he was credited with 64 victories but Prien only lists 45 victories for him through 1941! Thereafter as Doug states he disappears from the records. Could the balance of his claims have occurred in 1945 when he was operating with JG 1?
Horrido!
