Hans Ortmann NJG1
Dear reader,
When studying the Flugbuch of this flyer, I decided to write a story about him. The story will be published on the website of a local museum. Does anyone have any information on this Bordfunker? I know he flew with Erhard Bruhnke. Did this pilot transfer to single-engined fighter aircraft and was he killed in Jagdgeschwader 1? The Bundesarchiv is new to me. I have never been there before. Is there any chance I would find info there? Is is possible to order information online? Kind regards, Timon Legemaat |

Hello Timon,
Fw Erhard Bruhnke of 4./JG 1 was killed in action on 31 Aug 1943 at 03:25 hrs near Koblenz flying the Fw 190 A-5 WNr. 7212 black 2. This was a night operation against an attack of the RAF Bomber Command on Mönchengladbach. Sources: GQM loss return 4 Sep 1943 item 43 Jagdfliegerverbände Vol. 10/II Regards Leo |

Hello,
I only know one Uffz. Hans Ortmann, which flew as Bordfunker of Oblt. Werner Rapp in 5./N.J.G. 5. Maybe you mean this man. Rgds, René |

There is an Gefreiter Ortmann attending Nachtjagdlehrgang 7 1943, perhaps teamed up witn Flugzeugführer Uffz. Möllerfriedrich.

Re: Hans Ortmann NJG1
I doubt it is this Gefreiter, because Hans Ortmann already was an Unteroffizier before 1943. Also, he did his night flying training during 1941 before he was posted to 7./NJG 1.
