Re: Johann (Hans) Kogler - Jg6 Oberstleutnant - Assistance needed

Oberstleutnant Johann Kogler
Hello Rylan
I have that he was flying Fw 190 A-9 "Black <-" (W.Nr. 980 543) when shot down on 1 January 1945 for whatever it is worth. Horrido! Leo |

The 1981 book 'Target Berlin' by Jeffrey Ethell and Alfred Price ( attack on Berlin 6-3-1944) has a photo of Kogler and several mentions of him, including him being shot down that day,

Old thread I know but being a collector of German headgear just wanted to say that this white top Officers cap is beautiful and a one look obvious original just from this single photo. Congrats on a wonderful find!
