JG 51 and 57, Helmut Lohoff

[ouidjat]

Hello Gents,

What we got with this album?

1/ His Bf109F, Type, WNr. and Code number at the time he was taken POW, in February 42.
2/ WNr.1078 for the Bf109E on which he got his first victory. No code number but clearly 3. Staffel (CF Prien too)
3/ His Rote 12 in 2./JG 77 we already knew.
4/ Three Bf109D on which he apparently flew... ??+TP; GC+?? and NI+OP.
All three being in JFS 2.
Following Bert Hartmann site all three are noted in JFS 2 in February 1941: ???
- Same site gives us only one exit for ??+TP, that is DK+TP.
- Two clues for GC+??: GC+BB and GC+BC, both in JFS 2. But could be another one.
- NI+OP is amazingly noted as a Bf 109 E in Bert Hartmann site.

Questions:
- Comments?
- Is the crash picture linked with his own crash when flying in 2./JG 77? (See Prien)
- What's the link between Lohoff and "JG 2"?
- What else?

Regards, Franck.

It is stated that he got about 6 victories: Does anyone have any evidence supporting this? I have found none.

Thanks.
