Ltn Wilhelm Brauns I./NJG2
Hi guys
Following his shoot down over Malta, and capture in December 1941, Ltn Brauns of 1./Staffel was interrogated on recovery and he claimed that both his father and brother were pilots with I./NJG2 at Catania, although with a different Staffel. Any substance? Cheers Brian |

Re: Ltn Wilhelm Brauns I./NJG2
Hi Brian
This would be with Heinz Rokker's Gruppe. He published a book on the gruppe, in it he seems to list ALL the personnel, but no body else by that name mentioned. Rokker gives Brauns's lose as:- 19th December 1941 flying a Ju88 C-4 Brauns and Uffz Erwin Heese P.O.W's bordfunker Gefreiter Johannes Mattuschka killed. Shot down in the region of Malta by a British Hurricane. Kind Regards Johannes |

"19.12. 1./NJG 2 Feindflug (bei Venedig über See) vermutlich Jägerbeschus"
that's correctly "Ta Venezia" at Malta.
