Alfred Lindenberger - 28 September 1944

In part two of the history of JG 300 by Jean-Yves Lorant & Richard Goyat, page 30, the authors note that Major Lindenberg flew an aircraft from the Gruppenstab.

Hi natttuppen

Many thanks for your response. I had previously read that the Gruppenstab of II.(Sturm)/JG 300 used both green and blue tactical numbers but since I have read that on occasion he allegedly flew as wingman to Major Walter Dahl (102 victories, RK-EL) with the Geschwaderstab of JG 300 which was using blue tactical numbers in 1944 I was confused as to which unit did his aircraft belong to on that date. An example of the use of green tactical numbers by the Gruppenstab of II.(Sturm)/JG 300 would be when Major Kurd Peters (4 victories, DK-G), Gruppenkommandeur of II.(Sturm)/JG 300, was wounded and forced to bail out of his Fw 190 A-7 "Green 5" (W.Nr. 340 303) in aerial combat over Naumburg on 29 June 1944. Many thanks for your help.

Horrido!

Good morning Gentlemen,

Lindenberger scored his first gunner kill in 1917.
He scored his first pilot kill in 1918.
He scored his last kill in 1944.
26 years of scoring as a pilot, is this an all-time record ?

Cheers,

Michael
