Gunther Toll

[Johannes]

Hi guys

Does anybody know what happened to this pilot. I beleive he survived the war with at least thirty-nine confirmed claims. He starts off with seven in the West with 7./Jg2, then thirty-one in the East with 7./Jg52 before being wounded on 7th July 1943. But he returns in 1945 with III./Jg52 and makes a kill on 26th March 1945. Does anybody have a D.O.B or D.O.D for him?

Regards

Johannes

A check of our files revealed nothing about this fellow ( he apparently never held a command) BUT the Tom Kracker Archive has plenty to say. Apparently he considers this to be two people but it is apparent to me that this the same person.

This is a little hard to decipher but looking at the web page might be clearer.
