Re: Greetings! I'm new to the board.

The Namentliche Verlustmeldung for Hans Roehrig states the following: "Flugauftrag: Freie Jagd an der Ostküste Siziliens. Vorgang: Oberlt. Roehrig startete am 13.7.1943, 10,oo Uhr mit seinem Rottenflieger zur freien Jagd an der Ostküste Siziliens. In einer Höhe von 2ooo m fliegend wurden über Syracusa 6 - 8 Spitfires in 3ooo m gesichet. Oblt. R. zog den Flugzeugen entgegen und griff sie aus der tiefen Position an. Der Rottenflieger wurde von 2 Spitfires angegriffen und verlor dabei seinen Rottenführer aus den Augen. Weitere Bestellungen konnten von dem Rottenflieger nicht mehr gemacht werden."

Roehrig was flying a Bf 109 G-4, Yellow 5, W. Nr. 15063. His rank was originally typed in as Oblt. on the Namentliche Verlustmeldung. It was later crossed through and 'hptm' hand-written above it. The location of the loss is given as "im Raume Syracusa-Catania".

Hope this is of some help.
