Birth/Death details of non Ritterkreuz 50+ aces

[Edward L. Hsiao]

Gentlemen,

Oberfeldwebel Kurt Fritz Celtjen had 54 victories by August 1943 when he was wounded in action. He was a DKiG winner of 5/JG-54. His score maybe higher when he recovered. I had been looking at Kracker Archives lately.

Some other sources had put Oberfeldwebel Wilhelm Theimann of JG-51 at about 55 victories. A DKiG winner.

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao

Hi Eduard

I can find no claims at all for Celtjeh, plus no DKiG......A phantom. With Theimann DKiG was awarded 31st March 1943 after twenty-seven confirmations, total forty-two in the East. D.O.B 13th January 1920.
Segatz DKiG on 25th September 1942 after twenty-eight confirmations, Total thirty-three confirmed: 20 in East, 13 West including four heavy bombers. D.O.B 29th June 1917......also at least three unconfirmed...including two heavies.

Regards

Johannes
