Oblt Ludwig Klink 2 Staffel, Oblt Friedrich Gündel Stab and an Ofw said to be Niense (?). Only loss was Flt Lt J Crabb of 193 Sqn. I wonder if Niense is Robert Heichele?

The names of the three claimants from NAG 13 were Oblt. Ludwig Klink - 2./13 -, Oblt. Friedrich Gundel - Stab/13 - and Obfw. Joachim Riewe - 2./13 -.

Thanks Jochen. That makes sense-he was a long serving member of NAG 13. Whilst on the subject, who, in addition to Lt Günter John got a Spitfire on 8 Mar 44? I cannot match a Maschler with any known pilot

Chris, I have Lt. Gerhard Wächtler from 2./13 with a Spitfire at 19.04 hrs in 04 Ost/8335, which would make it northwest of Calvi, Corsica. I haven't checked the whereabouts, but I hope it helps. BTW - Lt. John's claim was made at 17.50 hrs in 04 Ost/8345.

Thanks Jochen. I believe they had moved to Cuers by then which explains the location

Hi All,
possibly Ofw. Riewe was lost on a mission October 9th 44. Can someone confirm the date? Best regards Rolf |

With a lack of an NVM it is possible he was uninjured or unwounded
