Werner Moelders and those who crashed with him
I am wondering if anyone knows the first names of the people who crashed along with Werner Moelders on 22 November 1941 in Breslau-Schoengarten. They were:
Oberleutnant Kolbe (pilot of the He 111) Major Wenzel (Moelders' adjutant) Oberfeldwebel Tenz (radio operator) Oberfeldwebel Hobbie (flight engineer) I am mainly interested in learning Major Wenzel's first name. If anyone has the answer(s), please e-mail me at Feldpost@aol.com Thanks! Barry |

Wenzel
Hello Barry
I have the following names of those involved in the crash of He 111 H-6 "1G+BT" (W.Nr. 4513) of 9./KG 27: Oberleutnant Georg Kolbe Major Paul Wenzel Oberfeldwebel Arthur Tenz Oberfeldwebel Hobble The information concerning Wenzel's first name is from Osprey's Fokker D VII Aces of World War I part 1 by Norman Franks and Greg Van Wyngarden. It includes a photograph of him on page 47 while serving as a Leutnant with Jasta 6. It appears that he claimed 10 victories in the Great War and was acting CO of Jasta 6 from 19 July to 11 August 1918, when he was wounded in combat with 209 Sqn, RAF. He died on 30 January 1964 at age 77. Please look at www.theaerodrome.com/aces/germany/wenzel.php for more information, including his victory list. I hope this helps. Horrido! Leo |
