Re: Ofw Wilhelm Baumgartner .9/ JG 77
Adriano
April 11th was a complex day with lots of action from all sides during the day. To determine exactly what happened to Wilhelm Baumgartner is difficult and is not made easier because what is left of JG 77 diaries are quite lacking that day and few time frames exists or what their mission(s) was/were for the day. At this stage we can only assume that our Jochen Prien, also on these pages, have gone through what exists... 8./JG 77 claimed a victory at 11.38H GERMAN time (I don't know if the Allies were on the same time frame) Checking what Chris Shores, Hans Ring and Bill Hess wrote in Fighters over Tunisia, quote:" ALso on this date, Ofw Wilhelm Baumgartner of II./JG 77(this is a misprint, since the index states he was with III.JG 77) was killed in combat south of Sedjenane while escorting Ju 87s in white 10 - possibly he was shot down by 232 Sq during the midday mission" Best Regards Stig
