Heinz Mihlan (not Heinz) later served with SG 4, serving as Staffelkapitän of 8./SG 4 from February 1944 to 6 June.
This day as a Hptm, he was involved in a fight against Allied fighters and claimed a P-51 but was then hit and forced to bail out. He was apparently unhurt. |

Lt Helmut Ruscher - I believe the last name is Ruschen. He also flew with JG 54 for a time and survived the war.

Thanks Guys
Their spell still seems mysterious except for Ruschen I have a small doubt that Hans Mihlan is Heinz Mihlan,in JG 51 it's well Hans michel |

Hi,
Heinz Mihlan returned to III./S.G. 4 after the 6 June 1944 incident, and later became a Major, surviving the war. He died in the 1960s. Cheers, Andrew A. Air War Publications - www.airwarpublications.com/earticles |
