Thanks

Can you tell me if he had any confirmed kills. Looking at one or two books he did not seem to get any with JG301 but yet he had a GErman Cross in Gold - strnage?

Depending on time, he went down to either 361st (~1200-1215) or 355th/2SF (~1215-1240). As far NE of Hannover/Misburg as he was it looks like it was a chase from Misburg area battle.

IIRC JG 301 didn't get into that fight until about 1235 coming in from east-northeast to hit 491st BG coming off Misburg. If this is true, he went down to either the 355th or 2SF.

Footnote - the 339th also hurt JG 301 but that fight began at 1245 south-southwest of Hannover and continued to Dummer Lake.

I don't have any claims for this pilot.

The DKiG was awarded on 29.3.1944 when he was a pilot and Lt with 5.(H)/AG 11. My guess would be an experienced old NCO pilot of a reconnaisance unit that later was promoted to officer (Kr.O) and maybe volunteered to RVT.
