Hi,

Can anyone provide details over the unit, aircraft and loss of Leutnant Theo Klienhenz who was killed on the 5th april 1944 as part of a Nachtjager crew?

Thanks

Leutnant Theo Kleinhenz was willed with 10./NJG 6. He previously belonged to 8./NJG 1 when stationed at Twente. He may have joined Lütje in his transfer to NJG 6.

Cheers,

John

Hi Rick,

Have attached the WASt NVM and page from Werner Kock's "Kriegstagebuch des Nachtjagdgeschwader 6". Before I forget, you offered to send some sterbebild but you must have forgotten. Hope the attached is useful for you.

All the best

Melvin
