Hans-Jürgen Borchers fate
Hi
Oberleutnant Hans-Jürgen Borchers flew with the Staff of I./Jg3, and had five victories in Russia with this unit:- 29th June 1941 I-153 NW Krzemeinec 1220 hrs 29th June 1941 I-153 W Krzemeinec 1225 hrs 29th June 1941 Pe-2 25km SE Ostrov 1805 hrs 16th July 1941 SB-2 10km E Berdicev 1526 hrs 16th July 1941 SB-2 10km E Berdicev 1532 hrs He crashed his Bf109 during take-off from Colembert on 2nd September 1940, but was unharmed. After his claims in mid 1941 I can find no further reference to him anywhere. I assume he took up some none combatant job. however I have now found a reference to an Oberleutnant Hans-Jürgen Borchers born on 24th January 1919 and killed on 10th August 1944, buried at Le Cambei, France, so almost certainly killed in France, I suspect this is probably a soldier with the same name, but could also be the pilot, possibly killed on the ground! Can anybody please enlighten me as to which, if any is the truth. Grateful for any assistance. Regards Johannes
