Heinz Marquardt and Kurt Tanzer

[knusel]

Good evening Gentlemen,

I'm still very interested in any proof for Kurt Tanzer having or having not scored 128/143 kills.
These are the higher figures indicated in some books:

• Toliver/Constable (1968): 143 kills, 4 four-engined planes
• Musciano (1982): 143 kills
• Aders/Held (1993): 128 kills, 111 with JG51, 17 in the West <=> 4 four-engined planes
• Weal (1995): 143 kills, 126 in the east
• Weal (2001): 143 kills, 126 in the east; 35 at the time of the award of the KC

Kind regards,

Michael

In respect of John Foreman's health, having spoken to him a week or so ago, he seems as well as to be expected mindful of his age. As to old and bold researchers and writers retiring, this is what I have been looking at in respect of a symposium of writers/researchers/historians/publishers in 2019 looking towards the future and helping the 'news kids on the block' so to speak

Hello,

I'm rooting for Mr Foreman's health.
Is he a forum member, too ?

Michael

[Chris Goss]

No he is not & there is no need to root for his health as I have already said!

Hmm, that's good. I was worried because your choice of words was difficult for me to translate.
What your personal opinion about Tanzer ?

Good morning Gentlemen,

will it ever be possible to estimate when Heinz Marquardt scored his kills number #90-98 ?
I mean before or after the transition from Bf109 to Fw190 ?

Cheers,

...or is it at least possible to estimate if his kill #98 was scored before or after 7Apr1945 ?

Hello Johannes

I have the book of Obermaier (1966)

"Die genaue Abschusszahl is ungeklärt.Mindestens 128 luftsiege.Nach einer Soldbucheitragung 143,davon 17 West,4 Viermots.

"Seine Westabschüsse müssen während seiner Zeit beim Jafü 6/Ostpreussen erzeilt worden sein."

Best Regards
Michel
