Jost Schlang, JG 27
30.9.1942, Oblt. Josef “Jost” Schlang, along with Fw. Rainer Pöttgen, witnessed the fatal crash of Hans-Joachim Marseille.
4.1.1944, Schlang fell during a combat flight with an enemy fighter over the Balkans. Which fighter? According to other data, the cause of its collapse is still unknown. What happened on January 4, 1944 over the Balkans? Please and thank you. |
