Lt (later Oblt) Peter Ehrhardt

[Smith]

I wonder if anyone could help with information regarding Lt. Peter Ehrhardt, Kapitan of 5.NJG5 in August 1943.

I am particularly interested in ...
- where the 5th staffel operated from in mid-August 1943
- what aircraft Lt Ehrhardt flew on the night of 17/18 August 1943 (the Peenemunde raid)
- any photographs of that aircraft, or an essentially identical aircraft (same model, same armament, same camouflage, same Gruppe)
- any information or photographs etc. you may have regarding Lt Ehrhardt
- is he still alive?

The little I know is what is readily available online ... served in NJG5, rose to rank of Oblt, 20 kills, 4 on the night of 17/18 August using a Schrage Musik equipped BF 110, survived the war.

Searching this forum I found only a brief mention in this thread.

Many thanks for any assistance you are able to provide me. It would appear that Lt. Ehrhardt shot down my Uncle's aircraft that night (a 619 Sqdn Lancaster), as you can imagine I have a keen interest in knowing more about him for the family history.

cheers Don
