III. Kampfgeschwader 100 "Viking" - Feldwebel Wiechert

[Ricalka]

Hello,
does anyone have the book from Mr. Balke or other sources to check if there was a Feldwebel Alfred Wiechert at "3. Kampfgeschwader 100 Wiking" in Jan/1944.

Maybe he was captured by the russians, because that's what the family told me.
But I'm not sure about that.

The WASt did not have a Soldbuch or Wehrstammbuch, they only know about him and that he was part of III KG 100 in Jan. 1944.

Thank's in advance for your help.
Best regards

Balke's Kampfgeschwader 100 "Wiking" does not have a name index, and the personnel losses are limited to the flight crews. Perhaps your man was with the ground element of this unit? I looked through the losses, but no Fw. Alfred Wiechert, the closest being Bordfunker Gefr. Hermann Weckert, 10./KG 100, killed in a flying accident 26.Dec. 1943 with Uffz. Alois Zieghaus' crew.

Good luck in your search, GRM

Hi, thank you.
As a new information, I know now, that he was not KIA and that he lived in western germany after 1945 with his wife and children.
thanks

Hello, anyone who has an idea where I can find more about the personal from KG100? Why is the soldbuch not at WASt - didn´t they store everything or could it be lost - would be intersting to know.
Thank you.

Does anyone can help me - are there more sources to try than WASt?
I can´t imagine that I could not find anything about him.
Thank´s a lot!

Hello, I have new information.
The family told me, that they remember as followes:
He was 1945 in Aalborg, Denmark and they are mooving back to Germany (to Heilbronn) and in Heilbronn the US Army already captured the airfield (or short after landing there) and he get captured as POW up to approx. 1946.
Does anyone know about the dates or about the , 3. KG 100 - Aalborg - Heilbronn or can help me to find out more?
