I have a sterbebild of a Gefr. Ernst Eggerdinger who was killed in air combat on the 12th May 1944. He was a fighter pilot. Can anyone tell me in which unit and anything about his loss? Many thanks Rick |

Re: Fighter Pilot's Unit?
Hi Rick!
On another board there has been a lot of writing with many posts on Eggerdinger. He belonged to 8./JG 11 and crashed with an Fw 190 A-7 or A-8. Nothing is stated with code or Wnr. He was the reason, i started collecting these death cards and for numerous years i have tried to track him, so now we are a little closer. Best wishes Christian

Re: Fighter Pilot's Unit?
Hello Rick!
Is there a place of birth given on his death card? Or were it was printed? Eggerdinger sounds austrian or bavarian! Herzliche Grüsse aus Oberschwaben, Wolfgang |

Re: Fighter Pilot's Unit?
Hi,
I can’t find a pilot named Eggerdinger belonging to JG 11 in Prien/Rodeike books about Jagdgeschwader 1 and 11. Perhaps Fred Trendle’s Point Blank - part 5, Losses may 1944 can shed a light on this loss. But I still have to order it. Kind regards. Dirk |
