Hello, Everybody!
Does any of you happen to know any details about Hauptmann Siegfried von Eschwege? (His date of birth and maybe also of death if he is already dead, perhaps a photo...) Thank you in advance. :-) |

Re: Siegfried von Eschwege
Hi, I hope the following helps: He was Born 1909 and served with I/JG132,
Adjutant JG52 (19.8.39-30.11.39), Kommandeur I/JG52 (1.12.39-26.8.40), Erg.Gr.Merseburg, Ia 5.Jagddivision (3.10.44- .45) He was unhurt on 15 May 1940, Bf109E-3 believed damaged in combat with RAF Hurricanes (3., 607.and 625.Sqd.) Between Namur and Dinant, at 1130 hours. He belly-landed near Liège, Belgium, sustaining 85 % damage. He returned to his unit three days later. Awarded the EKI in August 1940. He gave up command of I/JG52 due to a grumbling appendix. Promoted to Oberstleutnant i.G. on 1 April 1944. Regards, Mike |
