1 december 1943 Claim Bf109

[mdejong]

Hi,

I am looking for the pilot(s) who claimed to shot down Feldwebel Alfred Miksch. I have read, it could have been one from unit 355 FG.

On this forum this info about Miksch (flew in 8./JG1) was posted before:

Miksch: on 1 December 1943 in Bf 109 G-6 "Black 13" (W.Nr. 140 007) in the Nijmegen area.

On the same day this person crashed.
Hoppe: on 1 December 1943 in Fw 190 A-6 "White 6" (W.Nr. 550 731) over Cambrai/Epinoy by Spitfire fighters.

I have an original document that Miksch was shot down and crashed in the Belgian Albert Canal around/near the city of St. Troud (base NJG). This is not the above mentioned Nijmegen area !
He was also buried at the cemetary in St. Troud.

Thanks if you can help me in my research!

Martin

Martin, you might want to try and post your request on www.luftarchiv.de
On the left side you see a button FORUM, click on that, register and then put it in either Luftwaffe Personel or the Absturzinfo category. The guys there are very knowledgeable. You can also write in English, but German most likely would be a bit better. If you need help, e-mail me as I can trnaslate it into German. Danny
