Missing pilot remains found...but WAST will not recognize??
Many years ago, a friend of mine dug up the remains of an Me109G-6 flown by Oblt. Eberhard Sickert, Stab II..JG 11, W. Nr. 412337 (Grüne 2). He was lsited as missing 26.12.1944. During the dig they found his Dog Tag which confrimed 100% the pilot and of course, the wreck.
On a second dig, he recovered a Fw 190-A8 from Kurt Nuzzle of JG 41.1.45, agian the Dog Tag was found. Apparantly, WAST was not willing to change either pilot's status (from missing to KIA), as they did not consider finding the aircraft AND the pilots ID tag as proof. Does this make any sense??? Was curious if people care anymore? hmmmmmmm...
