Hans Schwerdtfeger

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Hello friends,

I am seeking details about the career of Lt. Hans Schwerdtfeger, Nachtjagd-pilot with the 8./NJG 5, then with the Luftbeob.St. 3 in Venlo. Apparantly he has survived WW-2 because he is listed on the guestlist from a nightfighter reunion many years ago.

He might have switched to a Schlachtgeschwader later, because he got the DKiG in October 1944 according to Scherzers book about the DKiG recipients.

Other info is most appreciated ! All the best,

<P>Hello Remi,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Many thanks for your answer! Do you&nbsp;have the Flugbuch of Georg Fieser,&nbsp;he was Bordfunker with Schwerdtfeger but I first could not make it out who was Fiesers pilot. When I discovered that the Flugbuch of Fieser was signed by a Tischtau, I discovered that Fieser must have been in the 8./NJG 5 or - more generally - the III./NJG 5. Then I looked for names beginning with 'Sch' and ending with 'eger' and in the NJWD of Theo Boiten I found a match: Hans&nbsp;Schwerdtfeger. Therefore: the Schwerdtfeger of NJG 3 must be the right one and we also know that he survived WW-2.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Thanks and a warm 'amicalement'&nbsp;from Venlo,</P>
