Re: Gabor Nemeth
Norbert,
As I mentioned you in private, it is a chance, that he changed his name after the war. After 1945, significant number of Hungarian citizens with German roots changed their family names to Hungarian ones to avoid the relocation to Germany (since many German ethnic citizens had to move to Germany, maybe you have heard about the former German foreign minister, Joschka Fischer - his family had to leave Hungary as well: he was born in Germany already, but still got a Hungarian first name, the József/Jóska/Joschka) Few pilots changed their family names as well (one is still living in Hungary, who made it)
You should ask him or his family about it (I don't know any Hungarian pilots with 26 kills at the Luftwaffe, but if he was only the pilot of the Luftwaffe and never the Hungarian Air Force, it is a possibility)
