Lt Franz Weiss JG5

[Ian Jewison]

Kracker has this....but there is no Franz Weiss as an Ehrenpokal or Deutsches Kreuz holder so god knows where that came from!!!

Magnus report?

Hi

It confirms my first impression that the information of Girbing is "doubtful".
I also saw Kracker but I tend to have reservations about their information as in this case.

On an other subject Ian,I have only the first 3 volumes of Mombeek's books,and from Monbeek on the 12/1/45 the 9 and 12/JG5 claimed 12 "abschuss" (Lancasters) ??

Which was in prison at that time, could it be that's reason why he is harder to trace?
