I./SG 152 vs 15th USAAF, 10 May 1944

Well, it is unknown to me. Interesting would be to know source of information.

According to my notes, Ofw. Ernst "Ohm" Krüger served on Eastern Front and as member of 6./SchG 1 was awarded DKiG. Sometimes in Summer 1943 was put out of Front Service and served as Flying Instructor in I./SG 152. The reason was that his wife was blinded and nobody could take care of his children. Krüger exchanged his Instructor Post with Ofw. Hermann Buchner somewhere in July/August 1944 and became new Staffelführer 4./SG 2 (after Buchner). According to my notes some "Ofw. Krieger" from Stab/SG 152 claimed victory over 1 B-24 on May 24 1944 and not on May 10 1944. So, if it is our Krüger (and I think it is), he could not died in some Aerial Battle early then in August/September 1944 and according recollections of Hermann Buchner he was still alive in November 1944.
