Re: Graves of Zerstorer Experten

O! It is INCREDIBLE! Flugplatz Giessen - THANK YOU VERY much!

I wish to connect to Schenck, icredible lots of questions... But...

Does he wrote some his memory book? I know, in Russia there are still many Veterans - Fighters, Shturmoviks, Bombers.. And its possible to connect them and ask some things, to young generation knows better THAT WAR...

For example: this webpage is related to Russian Veteran Memoryes, author - Artyom Drabkin finding new alive Veterans and make intervwue with them, and then post it on web page... There are some translated interveiws in English...

May be Schenck will be so kind to ask some of our questions? Is it possible?

S!

THX for reply again, Flugplatz Giessen!

Re: Graves of Zerstorer Experten

I found some info about "Bombo"...

http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/Flugze...2/Schenck.html

Quote:
Heute lebt Wolfgang Schenck in Marburg. Hoffentlich findet sich in naher Zukunft ein Publizist der die sicher hochinteressante Lebensgeschichte dieses Mannes nachzeichnet.
'Today Wolfgang Schenck lives in Marburg. Hopefully in the near future a journalist is the surely high-interesting life history of this man to that after-drawn.'

And another issue: http://www.au.af.mil/au/goe/eaglebio...s/schenc90.htm

Quote:
After the war, he returned to Africa and began a career as a bush pilot--logging over 17,000 flying hours.

Re: Graves of Zerstorer Experten

Hello Eugen,

I have some new informations about Wolfgang Schenk. He is still alive but he have "Alzheimer". It is difficult to talk with him about the past and about WW II. 07.Feb. 2007 he will have birthday. Schenk is now 93 years old.

If you have some questions, please let me know and I will asked my friend for answering Schenk. Perhaps you will have a little bit luck.

Regards
Mirko

Re: Graves of Zerstorer Experten

Ahhh... Its very sad...

I have a lots of questions, but - I know, its very difficult to ask...

I wish to have more knowledge about his actions over France 1940, in BoB, in Russia 1941, how did he attacked Airfields in june 1941... Then summer 1942, "Blau" operation, and actions of I./ZG 1 in Southern front of Russia...

My dream is to see abschusselist of "Bombo" and try to confirm his claims, both Western and Eastern...

But all this is only a dream

Re: Graves of Zerstorer Experten

2 all: PLS, lets not make any photoes of Gravestones of experten.

I've started the thread just to find up the missed/unknown PLACES, where they did buried.

Relatives of Experten wants just one: to let heroues rest in peace, and not being their gravephotoes discussed in Internet.

It was my awfull mistake to attach photo of Egon Albrecht. I cannot edit that post of me.

2 Earthwalker: some photoes, I found on Eduard Tratt.
