Oberleutnant Friedrich II./NJG 4

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Gents,

A quick look in the claimlists of the Chef.Abt.für Auszeichnungen und Disziplin from Luftwaffen Personalamt shows that we are talking about two different pilots:

The first claim was made by Oblt. Günther Friedrich (II./NJG 2), he is the one who joined the Stab NJG 1.
The second claim was made by Oblt. Gerhard Friedrich (II./NJG 4) who later joined I./NJG 6 as described by Chris.

All the best, Marcel

Is this in some way difficult to establish?

Reason I ask is that Nachtjagd war diaries Vol 1, page 137 list for the second claim Günther Friedrich Stab II./NJG 2 and makes no mention of any Gerhard Friedrich.

Cheers
Stig

Without looking at Larry & Doug's site, Gerhard was the DKiG & RK winner who started with Stab III/NJG 1 in Jun 42, in April 43 was with 10/NJG 4 after which he went to I/NJG 6

According the Abschusstafeln NJG 1 Oblt. Gerhard Friedrich was in June 1942 with the Stab III./NJG 1

Hi Guys

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have checked the micro films, and it would appear that both claims were made with the Staff of II./NJG 4, not Staff of II./NJG 2, it states NJG 4 on the micro film clearly, further more the staffel claims numbers are consecutive. I originally attributed then to Gerhard Friedrich, but now think it's probably another Friedrich, though there ranks are the same. Obermeier's biography states thirty confirmed claims, with these two I have thirty-two!

Regards

Johannes
