Erich Noack killed 24 July1940
Hi guys
This may have been previously discussed, but was Erich Noack killed in an accidental crash on 24 July 1940, or had his aircraft been damaged in combat and then crashed? Don Caldwell's book 'The JG26 War Diary' implies both! See pages 47 and 49. And how old was he when killed? Cheers Brian Last edited by Brian; 29th January 2015 at 19:53. |

Re: Erich Noack killed 24 July1940
Volksbund gives his date of birth as 3rd April 1910 so he would of been just over 30 when he died.
Nachname: Noack Vorname: Erich Dienstgrad: Hauptmann Geburtsdatum: 03.04.1910 Geburtsort: Niederlangenau Todes-/Vermisstendatum: 24.07.1940 Todes-/Vermisstenort: Lens Erich Noack ruht auf der Kriegsgräberstätte in Bourdon. Endgrablage: Block 16 Reihe 12 Grab 431

Hi Chris
No, I don't believe so, unless I've lost the plot completely!!! Anyway, what is the answer? Cheers Brian |

By the way, he is described as 'dashing' here: https://books.google.pl/books?id=W4A...0Noack&f=false
Do you happen to have a photo of him? |
