[Joerg Dietsche]

Gary,
beside JG 6 - III./JG 27, II./JG 11, IV./JG 54 might be players. There task in Sep 1944 was to defend the area Cologne-Bonn. JG 27 had two losses on 12 Sep Olt ECKRICH (was his first combat sortie) and Lt Torfer.
III./JG 27 was based at Cologne-Wahn with its staff at Castle Allner near Siegburg.
I am investigating the same air battle. My team found in Oct 2003 the crash site of Lt HAZZARD (engine plate) 429th FG near Vettweiss-Kettenheim and we are lose to Lt Scott's site at Herhan-Morsbach..
I interviewed Lt Webster 430th FG who gave me his view of this engagement.
The German crash location at Dorweiler is not known to me. Uffz Tölle crashed at Jakobwüllesheim, Lt Karger at Vettweiss, Uffz Richter at Thum all of JG 6.
We might share our findings.
