Hugo Adamatz

[Dean M. Wick]

Greetings: Could someone confirm for me if Lt. Hugo Adametz, of 14(Z)/LG1, KIA on Sept.15.40, whom Larry Hickey credits with 10 victories on one of his earlier posts, is the same pilot who was involved in a flying accident with 1/Erg.Gr. Vaerlose on August 1st.40 in which his Bf. Uffz. Gerhard Herbig was killed. While I am aware that 14(Z)/LG1's records are incomplete,it seems as if this is a large # of claims for slightly more than one months action, assuming it may be the same pilot. Any comments welcomed. Regards. Dean.
