Death of Jürgen Brocke 4./JG 77 in Sept, 1942
I am looking for the exact cause of the mentioned pilot's death. I know, where he crashed exactly and his plane, Wnr, etc, but the loss report from RL mentioned, that he was shot down by fighters, Prien's book mentions, that by AA fire. I forgot to check the story of the JG 77's KTB. Anyone knows, what happened with him exactly (and when he was born exactly)?
Thanks in advance, Csaba |

The Verlustmeldung doesn't say anything about the cause. He was born on 4 Feb. 1922.

Thanks, John, for the exact birth date.
For me, the AA variant sounds more reliable, because I don't know a clash with the VVS fighters in the very exact area/daytime, when this young talented ace met with his destiny. |
