Re: Wilde Sau aces

By chance I have a book Jagdgeschwader 301/302 "Wilde Sau".
By Willi Reschke. 1999 2. edition.
Pilots are not sorted as aces there.?
Luftsiege (Kills) are mentioned there.
Motorbuchverlag ISBN 3-613-01898-5
Regards
g.

Note that this book was also published in English by Schiffer in 2005 as:

"Jagdgeschwader 301/302 'Wilde Sau': In Defense of the Reich with the Bf 109, Fw 190 and Ta 152" by Willi Reschke, 284 pages, ISBN: 0-7643-2130-7

Wilde Sau aces

Hello krichter33

Here is a list of aces that flew with JG 300 that claimed victories at night flying single-engined fighters. Please note that I compiled this list very hastily so it for certain contains errors, particularly in the total of night victories that they claimed. Nevertheless, I hope that it may give you something to begin your research with.

Leutnant Gerhard Bärsdorf (5)
Leutnant Klaus Bretschneider (16)
Leutnant Otto Brüning (12)
Fahnenjunker-Oberfeldwebel Arnold Döring (10)
Feldwebel Kurt Emler (6)
Major Hajo Hermann (9)
Leutnant Ernst-Erich Hirschfeld (9)
Hauptmann Iro Ilk (5)
Hauptmann Karl-Friedrich Müller (30)
Oberleutnant Walter Plewa (8)
Unteroffizier Kurt Röder (6)
Feldwebel Ernst Schäfer (12)
Leutnant Georg Schmitt (7)
Leutnant Werner Treusch (8)
Feldwebel Ulrich Veh (11)
Leutnant Kurt Welter (?)
Oberfeldwebel Hermann Wischnewski (18)

Horrido!

Leo
