A superb database and I would encourage all to assist Larry & Doug with additions and weeding out duplications & the inevitable inaccuracies

Doug and Larry,

Thank you for your ongoing maintenance of one of the main pillars of Luftwaffe research.

I especially appreciate:

• the extent of the biographical data in each officer's summary.
• your well-thought-out conventions for data entry, and the consistency of your data formatting.
• your provision of a change log with each new edition of the summary. It's a useful resource, and it provides a very impressive insight into your dedication and thoroughness.

Much obliged,
Leon Venter

Is it just me but when I click on the Officer Career summary link I am diverted to here, the TOCH home page. It was working properly a week ago.

A minor update concerning

Josef Bisping:
†13/14.02.45 Hptm., 3./Vers.Verb.OKL KIA - in Ar 234 B-2/N (SM+FE) crash while attempting a night take-off from Havelhausen near Oranienburg. [Version #2: 23.02.45 Hptm., 3./Versuchverband OKL KIA - Ar 234 B-2N crashed following a night take-off from Oranienburg.] Buried at Oranienburg-Lehnitz.

Albert Vogl
13/14.02.45 Hptm., with Versuchverbandes OKL airborne radar operator, KIA – in Ar
234 B-2/N V15 (SM+FE) that crashed near Oranienburg when the airfield lights were abruptly switched off causing the a/c to stall. Buried in Lehnitz

These two entries can be tidied (they were killed in same aircraft).
The date is confirmed as 13.02.45, there are photos off their graves at:

Also, the aircraft was not V15, which was WNr.130025, but WNr.140145. SM+FE is correct.
