I just sent a private mail sent to your attention, Lino.

I do wish you can get me in touch with his family:

it will be moving to remit to them the medal that was once in Hans Wesser hands, more than 60 years ago.

Thanks in advance,

Gilles

Hi guys

I was looking for additional information regarding Leutnant Willi Stratmann (28 victories, DK-G) when I came across the following loss list entry kindly provided to us by Jim Perry on post 21 of this thread:

Bf 109G-6, 110356, Stratmann, FhjOfw. Willi, , , 8., JG 2, , , , , 27-Mar-44, WIA due to Luftkampf. FSA., DKiG., FR, Ring, JG 2 loss list, p.22, , westlich Nantes, 100%, F, , ,

However, I am nearly certain that this was actually a Bf 109 G-5 as per the werknummer series. Can anyone confirm that this was the case or was this aircraft at some point converted to a Bf 109 G-6? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Horrido!

hi everybody,

I have been able to find the whole story around this Ar96 kill 'thanks to you all !!) and it is really surprising.

I have written an article about it (in French but there is an English version attached).

If anybody is interested, send me a private message with your private email and I shall be glad to mail this article to you.

You should like it...
