Ltn Wilhelm Flegel von FARNHOLZ - 6./JG2

[loiclemarchand]

Hello all,

I would like very much to learn more about this JG2 Richtofen's pilot. He was credited about 7 aerial victories (if I'm right) and was shot down the 26 Nov. 1943 at Brie-Comte-Robert near Paris. He was killed in action that day and his ship was Bf 109G-6 ‘White 1’ (Wk Nr 410496), shot down by 78th FG's P-47s.
So if any gentlemen could furnish me more details about his life (birth date, buried place etc...) or if any pictures about him...??? it will be very much appreciated.

With a lot of thanks in advance.

Regards

Loic
