Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
I don't have the full pilots list but it would be interesting to look after the roster of 5(F)/123 (august) / Sonder Staffel Kaatsch (later).

Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
In the ranks of 3./NAGr 14 there were at least two DKiG recipients.
Oblt. Hans-Heinrich Spiess Oblt. Andreas Michalec The first one does not seem to fit as he was reported MIA and his picture in de DRK-Vermisstenbänder does not look like our guy. Who has a picture of Oblt. Andreas Michalec? It is a long shot but who knows.... John |

Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
On the FalkEins site there is a photo of the same Ltn. on his left arm below the shoulder tabs there appears to be some sort of symbol possibly a wolf's head. If this is so and not my imagination or a trick of the light would this offer any clue as to his unit.

Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
His name is Lt. Hans-Ulrich Jung, at the time of his dead (01-01-1945) he was the Staffelkapitän of 10./JG3.
Kind regards, Thomas |

Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
Dear all,
Thomas H is right, the Leutnant in question is Hans-Ulrich Jung of 10./JG3. His flight log along with several other items and some photos from the same PK series have been auctioned a short while ago, leaving no doubt about his identity. KR Jochen Prien |

Re: Identification of two pilots, France, Summer 1944
Pfff.... I must be getting old....all the time I had prints and a page of his logbook in my files.....would love to see a copy of his complete logbook....
Anyhow...looked at my notes and wonder if the Lt. Jung in the pictures on page 401 of Jochen's III./JG 3 volume are indeed the same guy. There is some resemblance but..... Cheers, John |
