Lt. Andreas Trockels, 5./JG 11.
Dear all,
Among the curent eBay sales is this photo (1.), offered together with another (2.) showing undoubtedly Lt. Andreas Trockels exiting his "Schwarze 18" nicknamed "Hjördis" at Jever in July 1943. Photo 1. does seem taken at a different time and makes me think of another photo taken 11 April 1944 whilst II./JG 11 was stationed at Wunstorf and showing a small group of II./JG 11 pilots, among them Lt. Andreas Trockels, seen here shortly before his death on 29 April 1944: https://www.flickr.com/photos/280920...-ioN7Lm-h34ucP Can this hypothesis be verified ? Thanks in advance for your inputs Cheers Marc 1. https://www.ebay.de/itm/foto-luftwaf...UAAOSw6RRdPX8E https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/FPUAA...8E/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/E4wAA...8K/s-l1600.jpg 2. https://www.ebay.de/itm/foto-luftwaf...oAAOSw1pZdPX9c https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ccoAA...9c/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/u6QAA...9j/s-l1600.jpg |

Hi,
Trockels is mentioned and his photo shown in "I Flew For The Fuhrer" by Heinz Knoke and also details of the combat on 29 Jan 44 are included, although the Allied adversaries are given as Spitfires ( clearly not the case) Bruce Lander |
