Air battle May 12, 1944???
Hello!
I asked about this years a go in the "old" forum, maybe with all the new knowledge some of You can help me now. The matter concerns a Gefreiter Ernst Eggerdinger, a JG pilot who was killed in an airbattle on the above date. I have looked in books, loss lists and so on, but i cannot find him anywhere.... I realize it is a long shot, but I would like to find out something about this pilot. He was the reason, i started collecting death cards several years a go. Thanks in advance Christian

Hi Christian,
I´m a german WWII photo collector. Ernst Eggerdinger was born 9th July 1923. I know I´ve had a photo from him. But I don´t know where it is. |

May 12 suspiciously matches up with big airbattle between LW and 8th AF on May 12, 1944 - the 'day' the oil campaign started. This also day Rall shot down by Rankin.
I know the 4th and 56th FG had a big engagement round the Frankfurt (?) area (i am away from my references) and possibly 357 and 352 also |

Hello,
The gräbersuche on volksbund.de gives five soldiers with the name Esserdinger but not an Ernst who was born on 09.07.23 |
