Albert Dudszus/Alfred Dudssus

[Johannes]

Hi

I have seen several sources stating that these are one and the same person, but I am thinking these are two!

Ofw Alfred Dudssus gets a DKiG with 1./SG2 on 12th January 1943,, and I believe this guy claims Russian aircraft with 8./SG10 on 16th November 1944 and 11th December 1944, so possibly more later!

Fw Albert Dudszus makes his first claim with 5./ZG26 on 9th April 1944, and his last as an Ofw on 20th June 1944.....four in total, all viermots.

I have found a grave site for an Ofw Albert Dudszus born 17th September 1918 and died 21st June 1944, which ties in with the 5./Zg26 pilot. If this is our sub-Ace then there must be two guys, could anybody confirm Albert Dudszus's death on 21st June please?

Grateful for any assistance

Regards

Johannes

Ofw. Albert Dudszus, geb. 17.09.1918 Rudlauken, EM B65251/38, was killed on 21.06.1944 near Schönbeck/Friedland in Me 410, Wnr. 420631, 3U+DN, 5./ZG 26. His Bordfunker was killed too.

Uffz. Alfred Dudssus, 1./StG 2, and DKiG on 12.01.1943 seems indeed another guy.

Cheers,

John

Thanks John

I think we can safely say that there are two pilots!
