We hope that this helps.

Greetings,

If he is the same person mentioned above, an Oblt. W. Kohlstrunk was flying with I./JG 2 from Großostheim airfield in an Fw 190 D-9 marked <I+. He is listed as flying eight combat missions between 18 and 23 March, 1945.

I have Oblt Willi Kohlstrunk (born 24 Aug 18 in Meissen) with 1/JG 2 from 11 Jan 45. Age would fit but promotion from Lt to Oblt 4+ years would be very slow
