JG 107 loss 29.01.1944 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Gentlemen,
I´ve got the following datas about mentioned loss:
Ofw. Hase(?), JG 107, Bf 109 E, crashplace Dahlheim (15 Km SSE of Koblenz, or the Dahlheim near Kassel?)
Is it possible that parts of JG 107 were based in the Frankfurt/M. area and mentioned a/c was shot down by escort fighters during the 8. USAAF mission against Frankfurt?
Any additional information is welcome

Its Dahlheim in the Mainz-Bingen area, Hase started from the af Laachen-Speyerdorf and possibility downed by a B-17 gunner.

Hi, guys

Bf 109E-7 WNr 4180

"Absturz nach Luftkampf" given as reason, so with a high degree of certainty this loss was inflicted by enemies.

Regards,
Andreas

Andreas, Khorat,
thank you very much for these datas!
Anything known about the fate of Hase? KIA? And does anybody have his first name?

Regards, Heuser

He is noted as KIA, and I guess the only way to get his first name is to:

1. Locate his Grablage (the Volksbund does not have him on their website/in their database)

2. Check with WASt

The entire loss record is as follows:

The reason for the (2) in the pilots name is that there are multiple persons with the family name Hase and no given name in my database.

Regards,
Andreas

Andreas,
thank you very much again. I´ve checked the VdK-database, too. But as far as I know the VdK don´t list persons which were buried in their hometown. And I don´t know why some KIA were buried near their chrashplaces, others at home...

Best Regards,

Heuser
