Re: Looking for ANY and ALL information on Unit 11/NJG5 that my Grandfather Otto Karl Tillack was in.
I have an Otto Tillack, but with 8./JG 1, not a nightfighter unit.
Bf 109G-6 WNr.27023 of 8./JG 1, coded "schwarze 10" Uffz. Otto Tillack KIA 30.Jan. 1944 near Zwolle in aerial combat with enemy fighters. 8. = Eighth Staffel, part of III Gruppe JG 1 = Jagdgeschwader One, a dedicated home-defense unit, operational in daylight. As to Kades, that one matches up: Ju 88G-1 WNr.710458 of 11./NJG 5, perhaps still marked with its delivery code (Stammkennzeichen) BS+ZL Pilot Ofw. Karl Kades KIA 11/April 1944 due to aerial combat during a transit flight. Bordfunker (radio operator) Ofw. Otto Tillack also KIA, Bordschütz (gunner) FSA (parachuted, name not recorded); location given as Weisswasser O/L. Jagen GRM Last edited by G.R.Morrison; 5th June 2013 at 03:21. Reason: typo
