Subject "Oblt Hans Wolff, 6/KG-2" son wants info

[George Wolff]

My name is George Wolff and I'm searching for information regarding the service of my late father Hans Wolff. The little I know is some passed-down stories and artifacts he gave me and the few high-level details available on the 'net. I have no logbook or diary or similar detailed records.

He and his crew became POWs on 22 August, 1942; shot down at Worlingsworth Suffolk by a Mosquito of No 157 Sq., piloted by W/C Slade. Their aircraft a Do217E-2 (or E-4)?) Werk Nummer 1152 (U5+LP).

Apparently, he spent time at a PoW camp at Windlestone Hall in County Durham, and was subsequently sent to Canada. He was interned in an officers camp called Seebee, at Kananaskis, Alberta (a recent winter Olympic site).

I have some anecdotes and information that I will add to this thread shortly, including a handful of photographs. He left very little data on his service although he gladly offered me some cheerful watercolors about time as a POW, before returning to West Germany long after the end of the war. (We – his family - emigrated to Canada in 1952, partly because he had been treated with well and with respect as a POW).

I have pictures of him with his Dornier and a shot of a crash-landed Junkers 88 that apparently ran out of fuel after being hit during a bombing run to Dunkirk.

I'm looking for any information and photographs, documents, etc. that can be found to fill in his service record. The Kracker archive says he completed 154 missions, if true that suggests quite a career to document. I want very much to know his entire service record, if anyone can assist me.

RodM of this forum has suggested that I request his service record from the Deutsche Dienststelle (formerly known as the Wehrmachtsauskunftstelle für Kriegerverluste und Kriegsgefangene or WASt) and I am pursuing that avenue.

Many thanks all here for whatever information you can provide me, it will be very much appreciated by me and my family.

Kind regards, George Wolff
