Re: Heinz Nedlich - who knows more?
Just talked to Heinz (half-)brother, who was born in Sweden only a couple of years before Heinz went back to Germany to fly. He gave some important information:
Heinz was born 29 december 1919. His father died shortly afterwards, but Heinz possibly used his fathers last name when he went to Germany - which would have been Borchert. Which means he flew in the Luftwaffe under the name Heinz or Karl-Heinz Borchert. His mother obviously had a photo of her son, where it says on the back "Zum Jagdflieger ernannt 20 April 1940". There also was one photo taken in Königsberg - the brother remembers - dated sept/oct 1942 where he had "two wings" on the uniform, and somewhat later only "one wing". Degraded obviously... Found on the Kracker Database one Uffz Heinz Borchert who actually crash-landed one Ju 52 at the end of September 1942 - but this happened not in Central Europe but in Banak, Norway... http://www.aircrewremembered.com/Kra...?s=100&q=heinz Even some photos at Flyvrak Norway, taken by Uffz Heinz Borchert! https://ktsorens.tihlde.org/flyvrak/banak.html So, what do you think, could this be the one I'm looking for - and does anybody have more information about this Swedish-speaking Luftwaffe-pilot?
