Lt. Kurt Susan - 6/II/JG 54 Missing 27.8.1942

Hi all,

Could anyone help with any additional info on Lt. Kurt Susan? He was holder of the Spange in Silver indicating he had at least 60 missions under his belt but no Iron Cross.

Thanks to Kevin (Hucks) he informed me he has at least one victory as recorded in the Jagdflieger series, however he has volume 9 III on order so subsequent victories (if any?) are not known at the moment.

Info I have thus far:

1.10.41-13.1.42 1./Erg.J.Gr. 54
14.1.42-10.3.42 Erg./I./J.G. 54
11.3.42-27.8.42 6./II./J.G. 54

Known victories:

29/04/1942 Lt. Karl Susan 6./J.G. 54 (1.) MiG 3 07:20

Loss report:
