Georg Keil,JG-2

[Edward L. Hsiao]

I need information of this Luftwaffe NCO named Georg Keil who served with JG-2. What was his final air to air kill score? Did he survived WWII?

Does this help (from one of my books):
Oberfeldwebel Georg Keil of 3./JG 2 seen at Caen in 1942. He was credited with two victories on August 19 1942 after which he was apparently posted to JG 11. On December 24 1944 an Oberfeldwebel Georg Keil was awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold with 5./JG 11. Much confusion exists about this pilot as there was a Feldwebel Günther Keil with 2./JG 2 (eight kills, +June 20 1942), a Oberfeldwebel Keil with 11./JG 301 in 1944 and an Oberfeldwebel Georg Kiel with 8 and 9./JG 11 in 1943-44.

This information helped me a little. There was one source that Georg Keil had 36 air to air victories to his credit. He might have scored more than that. Thank you for your prompt answer.
