Hi Guys

He was the Staffelkapitän of 7./JG 5 from February 1945 until the wars end, thus surviving the war. Czech born on 17th October 1916 he earlier flew with 4.erg/JGr.Ost in 1944. As to his claims, he had four until end September 1944, after this time JG 5's daily claims were not recorded on the micro films, but they made many claims over Russian aircraft in October 1944, thereafter a few claims over British and American aircraft, his known claims are(all with 10./JG 5):-

15th September 1944 P-39 0723 hrs 500 metres Nr.1
26th September 1944 Jak-9 1442 hrs 1200 metres Nr.2
27th September 1944 Boston area of Kiberg 1139 hrs 2500 metres Nr.3
27th September 1944 P-39 1143 hrs 1200 metres Nr.4

Likely to have claimed more in October 1944.

Are you certain about the WNr of Heinicke´s Bf 109G-6?
414463 lies beyond the known WNrn range and a G-6 of JG 5 is listed on 17th, June 1944 as WNr 411463 with Ofhr Hans Vollet at the controls?

According to Prien, et al. in Jagdfliegerverbände der Luftwaffe, Teil 10/III Heinicke was credited, as his first, with a Beaufighter shot down on 1.05.43 at 21:40 while with 3./JG 5. However Mombeek in Eismeerjäger, Band 2 shows Lt. Karl-Heinz Steinicke as having made this claim.
