Re: Unknow german pilot kia 01.01.1945 "Bodenplatte"

Ogfr. Albert Büttner - Obergefreiter = senior lance-corporal

FjU. Wilhelm Eggert - Fahnenjunker = officer cadet corporal

Uffz. Adolf Redlich - Unteroffizier = corporal/sergeant

Amazing that these ranks were piloting a Fw-190D9, when many, far more experienced pilots were still in A-7/8s and 109s during Bodenplatte.

There was no thought to putting the most experienced pilots in the D9?
