Heinz Marquardt and Kurt Tanzer

[Johannes]

Hi Michael

Your not listening. Tanzer had less than fifty confirmed claims. I have 9000 of JG51's claims, only thirty-five belong to Tanzer. He was latterly wingman to Karl-Gottfried Nordmann. Nordmann made no claims from 1943 onwards, his last claim(nr.75) was on 16th December 1942. The JG51 book which you are referencing from is pre-mikrofilm, thus outdated.

With Marquardt the first eighty-nine of his claims are found on the mikrofilms until 25th October 1944. Then the only references are from two flugbücher(E.Brunotte/E Arensmeyer) Arensmeyer states he was witnees to Marquardt's 121st on 25th April 1945, yet Brunotte states he was witness to a claim on 29th April 1945. Herr Barbas does not know the date of the 98th. But it would be on or just prior to 14th April 1945.

Kind Regards

Johannes
