Anton Hackl

[PMoz99]

Hello Michael.
I wasn't suggesting Hack was Hackl. As I said, Hackl wasn't there yet. I just found it somewhat amusing there might be 2 with almost identical names in the same unit at the same time. I wouldn't have thought that name would be all that common.
I'm not sure there is any proof of his kills from 22 May 1944 to 28 Oct 1944. I certainly don't have any. Only what is repeated on several sites - 16 kills.
Cheers!

Good morning Peter,

unfortunately, that website
http://ww2.dk/oob/bestand/jagd/bstjg300.html
indicates that there were no Bf109's at Stab/JG300 in December 1944. :-(

Does Jochen Prien's book
https://www.amazon.de/Jagdgeschwader...T21VFM899VH8TB
make a statement regarding the JG11 total of Anton Hackl ?

Cheers,

Michael

Michael, that goes back to my post #18 - the sole Bf109G-14 was sent for overhaul some time after 7 November, but because the movement records stop in December, we don't know if it came back to the unit in January or later, or if it went elsewhere.

Good morning Peter,

does a photo of Hackl's Fw190D exist ?

Cheers,

Michael

Sorry Michael, I'm not aware of any for either Stab II./JG26 or Stab JG11. Not for lack of trying.

Good afternoon,

Good evening,

I'm still interested in opinions about if Hackl's single JG300 kill was more likely scored in a Bf109 or in an Fw190.
