Heinz Nedlich - who knows more?
Hello!
Looking for more information concerning a (Uffz) Heinz Nedlich, who flew in the German Luftwaffe during part of the war. This is what I know (mostly from his half-brother, who is still alive): Heinz Nedlich was born in Gumbinnen 1919, moved with his family to Oscarström, Sweden 1929 where his father took over a local factory. Heinz went to school in Sweden and took his "Realexamen" there in 1935/36. Returned to Germany in 1937 where he learnt how to fly at Rangsdorf outside Berlin. 1939 he was called into the military service and 1940 he was flying the Me 109. 1940/41 he was posted to North Africa (possibly transporting Messerschmitts there...?), but in 1942 he had to quit that sandy scene because of problems with his sinuses. He was awarded the Iron Cross during his African posting, obviously he saved someone... Anyway, next he was stationed in Berlin transporting planes to Caen/Brest, until on a return flight he fell asleep at the wheels and almost crashed! He was then transferred to the Infantry, a "Strafbataillon" in the Baltic area where he was killed on the 7.5 in 1943. This is what we know - anybody here knows more? Most important, IMV...in which units did he fly? Thanks and friendly greetings Hans K |
