Walter Ohlrogge (5/JG3) and missing claims

[Johannes]

Hi Michel

5./JG3's earlier typed-out mikrofilms are complete, claims for 1939/1940 are:-

31st May 1940 Breguet 690 1830 hrs Josef Heinzeller
3rd June Hurricane 0840 hrs Horst Buddenhagen
3rd June Hurricane 0845 hrs Hermann Freitag
5th June Breguet 690 1645 hrs Hordt Gotz
6th June Morane 1110 hrs Alfred Heckmann
6th June Spitfire 1110 hrs Herbert Kijewski
7th June Hawk 36 0625 hrs Werner Voigt
7th June Spitfire 1907 hrs Kijewski
7th June Battle 1908 hrs Heinzeller
7th June Battle 1910 hrd Konrad Nelleskamp
7th June Battle 1915 hrs Freitag
13th June Blenheim 1645 hrs Nelleskamp
14th June Potez 63 1845 hrs Fritz Mias
17th June Potez 63 1735 hrs Mias
16th August Spitfire 1320 hrs Heinzeller
26th August Spitfire 1320 hrs Horst Buddenhagen
28th August Hurricane 1720 hrs Nelleskamp
28th August Defiant 1725 hrs Heinzeller
20th September Spitfire 1220 hrs Heckmann
27th September Hurricane 1330 hrs Buddenhagen

Then there is the daily A.S.M hand written mikrofilm, of interest are those for 16th August 1940:-

16th August Spitfire 1320 hrs Heckmann 6000 metres altitude
16th August Spitfire 1328 hrs Buddenhagen 5000 metres
29th August Spitfire 1640 hrs Buddenhagen 3000 metres
5th September Hurricane 1625 hrs Kijewski 6000 metres v.n.e-a.s.m

Seems they had problems with there claims of 16th August, I would guess that ultimately Heckmann and Buddenhagen got theirs confirmed, and Ohlrogge didn't, but who knows.

Kind Regards

Johannes
