Hauptmann Willy (Willi) Priebe

[Henry Jones]

Hi guys,

for my local research I'm searching further information about the above mentioned Hauptmann and Staffelkapitän Willy (Willi) Priebe.

Priebe was born on 30th November 1907 in Warbelov (Warbelow) and died after air fight on 19th Apil 1945 at the boundary of Birenbach (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birenbach). He is still buried there.

Dogtag: 555 12 B

Possible he was involved in a airfight with a P-47 on 19th April 1945 over Rechberhausen

404FG, 506FS,
P-47D---30, Werknr. 44-33456
Kennung 4K*K
Pilot: 1/Ltn. Bronson F. Baylies

I would be glad to hear more information about the pilot (e.g. unit ...) and the crash/air fight.

Thank you,
Alex
