12./JG 301 - 5 dec 1944

[DDT]

On this date Ofw. Walter Bä(c)ker was lost in combat over Prenzlau.
Unfortunaly Willi Resckes book gives two ways of writing his name:
Bäker in the text, but Bäcker in the caption of the added photo.
So I’m looking for the correct spelling.
The staffel claimed a P-51 shot down by Lt. Reiche.
In L.de Zeng list I found two Lt. Reiche’s: Gerhard & Ludwig.
Both with the same data, shot down with 11./JG 300 on the 14 Jan 1945.
I found a Gerhard Reiche in the 2nd volume of the book Jagdgeschwader 300 Wilde Sau lost on that day but as a Uffz.
I hope someone can shed a light about this pilot: Lt./Uffz. - Ludwig/Gerhard.
Tia and happy easter.
