[tonda75]

Hi,
In the photo is Lt.NEBEL from 9.Staffel JG 26. He was a member of this unit in the spring of 1941.
Please, does anyone know the first name of this pilot and does anyone have more information about this pilot.
Thank you very much for any information.
Regards Tony

De ZENG and All., do have 2 other NEBEL but certainly not related too..(an Obstlt in 1941 or another membef of the Aufkl.Gr. Ob.d.L).

So, it is PROBABLE that this is your man....He may have served earlier Mid 40 with JG 26 being late transferred to JG 51...OR "your" man is another NEBEL not reported so far....

Thank you Adriano for the quick reply. Yes, I know about this pilot - the possibility that he is the same pilot exists.

Hallo Tonda75.

Glad you were already familiar. So...He may even have survived WW2 (apparently)....

What is unknown, though, is his early training and first assignment...Have you tried to find relatives in Germany?

MAYBE a Flugbuch is preserved and can solve this early period of his career....A nice photo by the way. Congratulations...

Keep us informed if more is found.

Maybe the following:

1943-03-07, 3./Jagdfl.Schule 2, Bü 131 B-3, 4107, Fl.Pl. Magdeburg-Süd
Jagdlehrer Lt Nebel, Hans, verletzt
Bordmechaniker Obgfr Leitner, Karl, +

This Lt Nebel's EM was issued by 9./JG 26.

Unfortunately, a sad ending.
Matti, thank you very much, you have great information.
Adrian, thank you too.

For more sure it should be asked Nick Hector. He had interviewed pointed at the beginning Karl-Heinz Nebel, so probably he may recognize is he on photo or not.

Don't forget that Larry & Doug's list tends to be Oblt & above as there were too many Lts.

Hello Matti,
in VOLKSBUND (grave search), I did not find his name.
Can I ask you for his date and place of birth? He died in hospital, was it the same day that the accident occurred?
Thank you very much!
best regards Tony
