nightfighter pilot Schmid / Schmidt / Schmitt (UK-version)
Hello friends,
I did a copy paste action without realising that it was written in German. Now the same request in English: I am searching for more info about an unknown pilot. This is what we know now: First name: Hans (could have been Johannes) Last name: Schmid / Schmidt / Schmitt Rank: probably an officer Unit : I.NJG 1 between approx. Nov. 1941 - Sept. 1942 Born in: Troisdorf / Siegburg in Germany Any info about his Luftwaffe career or what became of him would be much appreciated! Best wishes from Venlo, a Holy Christmas and Happy New Year! Marcel Hogenhuis / Venlo www.fliegerhorst-venlo.net

Hello Marcel,
I think you mean Leutnant Hans Schmitz of the 3./NJG 1. All the best, Wim |

Re: nightfighter pilot Schmid / Schmidt / Schmitt (UK-version)
Hello Wim,
I might be wrong but the first name of this Lt. Schmitz of the 3./NJG 1 was Ludolf and he died in March 1942. I had the same thought as you but then this Schmitz (alias Schmidt) could not have been still alive in September 1942. So there must have been a pilot called Schmid, Schmidt or Schmitt who was with the I.NJG 1 but left no traces (for instance Abschüsse or Namentliche Verlustmeldung) before he left Venlo. I do hope that if we could fill in the details of Ofw. Herbert Schmitt (who went to England with a Ju88 in May 1943), or Hans-Joachim Schmidt (6/NJG 3, 1/NJG 5) or Hans Schmitz (4/NJG 1) or other, still unknown pilots, we might solve the problem. The request comes from his biological son who never has known his father so I will do my very best to help him. All the best, Marcel

You can probably rule out Herberet Schmid not Schmitt!!!!!!!!!! He belonged to 2/NJG 2. Later 10/NJG 3.
