Hi all

I am looking for info and mostly photo of Taubenberger, Johann or Hans, Oblt at II./JG 51 in 1944/45 at least.
According to some info survived the war, but further fate is unknown...Anyone might have his personal photo to share and/or details of his career?
Thanks

Taubenberger's first name is listed as Johann per the loss list I have that was compiled by Hans Ring. Per the Aders/Held book on JG 51 he was credited with 34 victories, though only 13 have been so far accounted for from sources like Tony Wood's claim list, matching Doug's comment above.
