Fw Ulrich Mundt KIFA 29 Jan 1945 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi all,

Does anyone have details on the actual crash that killed Ulrich Mundt, I know it was an accident and in JU 87G-1 werk nr. 31108 but did someone survive?

Also, does anyone have the wording of his award for the Knight's Cross? I know he flew some 530-539 sorties but was it solely for this feat?

Many thanks Tom

Thanks Matti.

Also, I wondered if anyone had photos of Mundt other than the photo in Prien's book? I have only ever seen a single photo of him. Was there a specific event/action for which he was awarded the RK? or was because he has flown 500+ sorties? Did he received it say for destroying several tanks in a single engagement?

Many thanks
