Geft Alois Pollach JG2

[Del1701]

Does anyone have any information about Geft Alois Pollach of JG2 shot down on the 15th October 1940, in a 109 at Everton, Hampshire by 609 Squadron. He was taken prisoner at the crash site but I can not find out where he was taken. Also any details of his service prior to this incident would be helpful. Thanks Del.

Del: No killls and after a brief incarceration near Bury would have ended in Canada. Attempts to contact him after the war have come to nothing

Hi,

according to the Mombeeck`s book about JG2 the corect spelling is Gefr.Alois Pollack. He was born in Sudets.

The machine crashed in a field occupied by Mr J. Fawcett at Hart's Farm, adjoining Everton Nurseries, and there was a violent explosion as it hit the ground. Its wreckage was strewn over an area of 200 yards, while the hood of its cabin was picked up in Thorn's Farm, about a mile away.

The pilot landed only some 60 feet away from the blazing wreck, and was quickly and quietly captured. One of the first to reach the German was Mr E. O. Ling, an ARP Warden of Milford, foreman at the Nurseries, with Messrs H. Woodhouse and S. Kenchington, members of the Everton Home Guard, also employed at the nurseries.

He definetelly spoiled the good mood of Novi. Are there any photos of him and his aircraft? By the way, any clue as to at whom Aggie Agazarian shot at?
