Walter Dahl

Walter Dahl was born on 27 March 1916 at Lug in the Bergzabern region of Pfalz. He joined the army in 1935, initially serving in the infantry, before transferring to the Luftwaffe and becoming a pilot. He became a flight instructor in 1939. In May 1941, Dahl was transferred to the Geschwaderstab of JG3. He gained his first victory on 22 June during the invasion of Russia. On 10 July, Dahl was transferred to II./JG3. By the end of October, Dahl had 17 victories to his credit, including three Russian aircraft shot down on 13 September to record victories seven through nine and a further three on 23 October, all Russian fighters (15-17).

Dahl was transferred to 4./JG3 on 13 December 1941 and accompanied the unit to the Mediterranean theatre. He claimed a Spitfire shot down over Malta on 1 April 1942, although this claim could well have occurred on 2 April. However, the victory was not confirmed and the "Spitfire", actually a RAF Hurricane of 229 Sqn, managed to return to its base on Malta, albeit damaged. On 10 April 1942, Dahl was appointed Staffelkapitan of Erganzungsgruppe/JG3. At the end of April 1943, Dahl was transferred to the staff of the General der Jagdflieger. On 15 August, Dahl was appointed Geschwaderadjutant of JG3 based on the Eastern front where, by mid-April 1943, he had raised his victory total to 51.

Dahl shot down four Russian Il-2 ground attack aircraft on 26 October 1942 (34-37). Oberleutnant Dahl was awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on 2 December 1942 for 42 victories. He shot down two Russian LaGG-3 fighters on 16 April 1943 (50-51). On 20 July 1943, Dahl was posted as Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG3, recently relocated to Munster from deployment around Kursk on the Russian Front. Here Dahl was to battle the bomber formations of the USAAF. He shot down two fourengined bombers on 6 September (52-53). He downed two more four-engined bombers and a USAAF P-38 twinengined fighter on 23 February 1944 (59-61). Dahl led III./JG3 against the Schweinfurt and Regensburg raid on 17 August but was intercepted by 222 Squadron RAF Spitfires. Five III./JG3 Bf-109s were shot down including the aircraft of Leutnant Hans Schleef (99 victories, RK, killed in action 31 December 1944). Dahl himself had to make a belly landing near Capperath when his Bf 109G-6 (W.Nr. 18842) suffered an engine failure. Major Dahl was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 11 March 1944 for 67 victories. On 21 May 1944, Dahl was appointed Kommodore of JGz.b.V. He led the unit until 6 June before taking command of JG300 on 27 June. On 13 September, he brought down a USAAF B-17 four-engined bomber by ramming.

Despite the successes achieved against the USAAF four-engined bombers with the use of Sturm tactics employed by JG300, Dahl was to be relieved of his command by Goring on 30 November 1944. On 26 January 1945, he was appointed Inspekteur der Tagjager. Oberst Dahl was awarded the Eichenlaub on 1 February for 92 victories. Despite his promotion, Dahl continued to fly operationally. He added 32 Russian aircraft to his tally flying over the Eastern front.

He recorded his 100th victory on 28 February 1945. Oberst Dahl ended the war flying Me 262 jet fighters with III./EJG2. Here he flew under the command of Heinz "Pritzl" Bar (221 victories, RK-S). On 27 March, Dahl claimed two USAAF P-47 fighters shot down. He gained his 128th and last victory, a USAAF P-51 Mustang near Dillingen, on 26 April 1945.

Walter Dahl survived the war but died on 25 November 1985 at Heidelberg, aged 69.
Walter Dahl shot down 128 enemy aircraft in 678 missions, including about 300 ground-attack missions. He claimed 30, possibly 36, four-engined bombers and 34 Il-2 Stormovik ground attack aircraft. Dahl also achieved 2, possibly as many as 9 victories, flying the Me-262. He recorded 84 victories over the Eastern Front.

Gordon M. Gollob

During the Second World War, only nine jagdwaffe pilots were awarded the Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub, Schwerten und Brillanten, (1) one of Germany's most prestigious decorations: Generalleutnant Adolf Galland, Oberst Gordon M. Gollob, Oberst Hermann Gr.u, Hauptmann Erich Hartmann, Oberst Helmut Lent, Hauptmann Hans-Joachim Marseille, Oberst Werner Molders, Major Walter Nowotny and Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer. Yet in spite of an exceptional career, Oberst Gordon M. Gollob was not as well publicised by German propaganda and today remains far less well-known than many of his contemporaries.

Gordon Gollob was born on 16 June 1912, a time when the Austro-Hungarian empire was still intact. Both his parents came from Graz, his mother, nee Reininghau-Karajan, being related to the famous Karajan family of musicians. Travelling to various cities to paint and sell their work, they were staying in Vienna when their son was born and, to the surprise of many, the Gollobs gave him the names Gordon Mac in honour of a Scottish friend.

Gordon's father, Heinrich Gollob, did not live for long after the birth of his son and died in 1917. Gordon grew up in Graz and soon showed a talent for music, but although he could play the violin well, his dream was to fly and, in 1930, when he was still only 14 years of age, he statted to build his own glider. He soon became an expert at sports gliding at Graz and, although he quickly progressed to become an instructor, Gordon wanted to improve his experience. As a result of the Treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye,Austria was then an independent state with a small army and, in 1933, Gollob enlisted and joined an artillery unit of the 6sterreichische Bundesheer. Soon afterwards, he transferred to the flying branch of the Army and it was probably at that time that he abbreviated his middle name to the initial letter only and became simply Gordon M. Gollob. While the name 'Mac' was tolerated in the artistic circles of Vienna, it was perhaps less easily accepted by his army comrades.

Gordon M. Gollob began flying powered aircraft in 1934 and spent three years at the Wiener-Neustadt Th(!resianische Militiirakademie where he soon gained an excellent reputation as an officer and pilot and where he was awarded his A-2 flying certificate. On 1 October 1936 he became the leader of the Austrian Fighter Training Unit where he was responsible for all fighter training. In the 'Anschluss of March 1938, Austria was annexed to Germany and became part of the Third Reich; the Austrian Air Force was taken over by the German Air Force and on 1 July 1938, Gordon Gollob became an Oberleutnant in the Luftwaffe. When his training as a fighter pilot ended, he was posted in March 1939 to 3,/Zerstorergeschwader 76 equipped with the Bf-110 heavy fighter, or 'destroyer'.

Six months later, when his unit was hasedat Ohlau, Gollob took part in the invasion of Poland. Most of his missions were ground strafing operations, during which he destroyed several aircraft on the ground, but on 5 September 1939 he intercepted and shot down a Polish PZL-24 fighter the first of his numerous aerial victories. With the conclusion of the campaign, I./ZG76 was recalled to the Reich where its main task was to protect the German Bight. On 18 December, Gollob and his comrades took part to the famous 'Battle of the German Bight' during which a number of RAF Wellington bombers were destroyed. On that day Oblt. Gollob, took off from Jever leading a Schwarm from 3,/ZG76 reinforced with Bf109Es from 6./JG77. This mixed formation claimed six victories, but only three were confirmed, one claimed by Gollob remaining unconfirmed.

On 8 April 1940, after a quiet Winter, Gollob took over the 3,/ZG76 at that time based in Westerland. The next day 'Operation Weserubung was launched and eight Bf-110s 3./ZG76 were ordered to attack the Norwegian airfield of Stavanger/Sola. However, due to poor weather, the Staffel was forced to break off its mission and two of the unit's Bf110s failed to return. After the country was captured, I./ZG76 transferred to Norway and was still there on 10 May when the pilots heard about the start of the Westfeldzug. On 13 June, aircraft from the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal carried out a gallant but futile bombing attack on the battle-cruiser Scharnhorst. Only one bomb hit the ship causing little damage, but of the 14 Fleet Air Arm aircraft involved in the mission, eight failed to return. One of these a Blackburn Skua, was shot down near Trondheim by Oblt. Gollob.

While on patrol off the Norwegian coast on 9 July, Gollob intercepted and shot down a four-engined Short Sunderland flying boat (2) and later took part in the disastrous raid on 15 August when Luftflotte 5 launched 134 aircraft from different airfields in Norway and Denmark to attack targets in north-east England. A total of 23 German aircraft was lost, including six Bf110s from ZG76. Nevertheless, Gollob was credited with shooting down a Spitfire but, with a seriously wounded gunner aboard, his aircraft was one of three which were badly damaged and Gollob barely succeeded in reaching the Norwegian coast.

At the beginning of September 1940, I./ZG76 left Norway and transferred to Deelen where the unit was renamed II./NJG1 and its personnel were to be retrained as night-fighters. Simultaneously, however Oblt. Gollob requested a transfer and was soon posted to Stab II./JG3 based in France.

On 12 October 1940, Gollob took command of 4,fJG3 and saw action during the last missions of the year against England. Previously, he had proposed several modifications to the Bf 110, and again his constant interest in technical improvements resulted in several suggestions regarding the Bf-109. For example, at that time, the Luftwaffe was flying missions to England at high altitude and several instances were reported of armament stoppages. Oblt. Gollob decided to help find a solution to this problem, and after climbing to approximately 10,000 metres in his Bf-109, flew for several minutes at this altitude before diving vertically back to his airfield in order that technicians waiting on the ground could examine the guns without delay. This trial revealed that the stoppages were due to the oil in the guns crystallizing due to the cold at altitude.

Before leaving France, Gollob claimed his sixth victory, a Spitfire, on 7 May 1941, after which the unit moved eastwards to take part in 'Barbarossa'. It immediately became clear that Gollob would be very successful in this new theatre of operations and on 22 June he destroyed an 1-16 followed by two DB-3s on the 25th. But for Luftwaffe fighter pilots, conditions on the Eastern Front were far from easy and on 26 June, the Kommandeur of II./JG3, Hptm. Lothar Keller, was killed. The next day, Gollob was appointed his successor and almost simultaneously promoted to Hauptmann. On 2 July, the new Kommandeur was credited with three Luftsiege. A series of further victories followed, many of them being multiple kills achieved on the same day or during the same mission and, by the end of the month, he had been awarded the Ehrenpokal. (3)
 
On 21 August 1941 Gollob claimed five victories and, ten days later, shot down a TB-3 heavy bomber as his 36th victory. On 18 September Hptm. Gollob claimed his 42nd victory and for this and in recognition of his remarkable abilities as Kommandeur, he was awarded the Ritterkreuz. Still his list of victories increased and, as further evidence of his abilities, he was credited with nine victories achieved within seven and a half hours on 18 October, bringing his total to 70. On 24 October, Gollob shot down a Polikarpov fighter as his 85th victory, but two days later his Gruppe was ordered back to Germany to rest and refit. While there, Gollob was called to Hitler's Headquarters where the Fuhrer personally presented him with the Eichenlaub.

At almost the same time, however, Gollob learned that he had to hand over his Gruppe to Hptm. Karl-Heinz Krahl, formerly of JG2, and take up a new position at the Luftwaffe's Test Centre at Rechlin. Although probably an unwelcome transfer, at Rechlin, Gollob's attention to technical matters was appreciated and he is known, for example, to have written a detailed study in which he compared all the known advantages and disadvantages between the Bf109F-4 and FW190A-2. In spite of the qualities he showed at Rechlin, he wished to return to the front and succeeded in being transferred to Stab/JG54 where he was to learn the duties and responsibilities of a Kommodore. While with JG54, Gollob claimed three more Abschusse until, on 16 May 1942, he was appointed Kommodore of JG77 as successor to the well-known Gotthard Handrick.

Over the Crimea, Major Gordon M. Gollob was heavily involved in the fighting over Sevastopol and quickly gained the respect of his pilots. On 16 May he claimed three LaGG-3s and the next day shot down three R-5s and a LaGG-3. On the 20th, Gollob shot down a DB-3 as his 100th victory and, on 23 June, received the Schwerte although he was not the only great ace of his unit; on the 19th, the Konunandeur of I. Gruppe, Hptm. Heinz Bar, had already reached 103 victories after shooting down four I-16s in a single combat.

At the end of June, JG77 was dispersed when I./JG77 was sent to Sicily to operate against Malta and, at the same time, II.I.JG77 was sent to the Voronezh sector in Central Russia. Gollob therefore remained only in direct command of his III. Gruppe but events at the front were occurring quickly. On 22 July; Major Herbert lhlefeld, Kommodore of JG52, was seriously wounded while taking off from Taganrog in a Fi-156 and Gollob was therefore required to take temporary command of JG52 while at the same time remaining Kommodore of JG77.

In August 1942 Major Gollob claimed 40 more victories, further evidence - if any was needed - that he was not merely content with an administrative position but also wanted to continue playing his part in the fighting. Thus, on 29 August he claimed his I 50th victory; becoming the first pilot to reach such a figure. This, however, was to be his last, for the next day, as the third member of the Wehrmacht after Molders and Galland, he was awarded the Brillanten and, at the same time, was ordered to fly no more operational missions. On 30 September 1942, the Austrian officer was removed from the front, a departure which coincided with the removal of the rest ofJG77, this unit progressively transferring to the Mediterranean in order to replace JG27.

On 1 October 1942, Gordon M. Gollob was ordered to the Stab of Jagdfliegeifuhrer 3 where he became la, or Intelligence Officer, responsible for co-ordinating the fighter units on the Channel. He remained in this position until May 1944 when he joined the Staff of the General del' Jagdflieger. At that time, he became the father of a young son.

For Gollob, this was the beginning of a difficult period, due not only to the general situation of the war but, more particularly, to the fact that his relationship with Galland was not the best, perhaps due to Gollob's character which rarely allowed him to make concessions. Apparently, it was Gollob who was one of the first members of the Staff of the General del' Jagdflieger to recognise the potential of the Me 262 and pushed for its maximum development, especially in its use solely as a fighter. He also played an important role in the development of the Me 163 Kraftei, the Me 263 and the He 162, being one of the few senior officers who had personally test-flown these advanced but highly dangerous aircraft.

The tensions between Gollob and his immediate superior, together with the deterioration of the general situation, eventually led to Oberst Gollob being posted back to Rechlin. His final influence on events at the front in 1944 were connected with his work as co-ordinator of the Jagdgeschwader engaged in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 and the famous Operation 'Bodenplatte', launched on 1 January 1945.

On 31 January 1945, following General Galland's fall from grace and dismissal, Gollob was appointed his successor as General del' Jagdflieger. Although his rank was never higher than Oberst, Gollob would have held this position until the end of the war had he not had to undergo surgery on his throat. Thus, at the time of the final surrender on 8 May 1945, Gollob was in a Luftwaffe military hospital in Kitzbuhel, in his native Austria. Apart from replacing his uniform with civilian clothes, the former Oberst did nothing to avoid capture but lived quietly in Kitzbiihel which, at that time was in the French zone. Eventually, however, in view of his important position, the Allies made serious efforts to trace him and he was eventually captured by the US Army and detained for over a year, during which time he was frequently interrogated by senior Allied officials who wanted information on the Luftwaffe's tactics, equipment and advanced aeronautical projects.

Eventually freed, Gollob had to begin a new life in a civilian occupation, a difficult challenge for a man who had known only a military career. However, thanks to his personal abilities, he secured a position in a factory as an engineer and settled down to family life, eventually with three children. In 1947, he wrote several works on aviation and his experiences in the Luftwaffe, and was always proud of the fact that not only was JG77 the most successful unit with minimal losses, but that in all his missions, he 'never lost a single wingman and they nearly all later became great aces themselves with high awards.'

Gordon M. Gollob passed away on 7 September 1987 at the age of 75. In view of his achievements and prestigious career, it might be thought strange that this man has been neglected in the specialised post-war literature dealing with Second World War aviation but, as someone close to him explained to the author of this short biography, he was:
'... a professional soldier in the traditional sense and a highly disciplined and strict man. He was very intelligent, and was excellent in whatever he did, but his attempts at near perfection led him to avoid fame and anything, such as womanizing, gambling or an excess of alcohol, etc, which might have brought him problems. His constant search for excellence led him into a detailed study of the use of air power as well as the purely technical aspects of aircraft.'

1. Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds.
2. Serial number N6133, aircraft code 'Y', of 201 Squadron.
3. The Ehrenpokal fur besondet'e Leistung im Luftkrieg, literally the Goblet of Honour for Distinguished
Achievements in the Air War, was awarded to pilots and aircrew who had been awarded the EK I but whose actions did not merit the German Cross in Gold or the Knight's Cross.

Gordon Gollob was born on 16 June 1912 at Wien in Austria. He joined the Austrian Bundesheer in 1933 as an officer cadet. In 1934 he completed his flying training. By 1936 he was an instructor and commanded the Schulstaffel A. With the German annexation of Austria in 1938, Gollob joined the Luftwaffe with the rank of Oberleutnant. On 15 March 1939, Gollob joined ZG76 flying Bf 110 Zerstörer twin-engined fighters. He was assigned to 3./ZG 76. He gained his initial victories over Poland and, later, during the Battle of the Heligoland Bight. Gollob was appointed Staffelkapitän of 3./ZG76 on 8 April 1940. He was successful during the invasion of Norway gaining two victories, including a RAF Sunderland four-engined flying boat. He gained a further victory, a RAF Spitfire fighter, during the Battle of Britain.

After undergoing night-fighter training and spending a short spell at the Erprobungsstelle Rechlin, Gollob was transferred to II./JG3 based on the Channel front on 7 September 1940. On 9 October, he was appointed Staffelkapitän of 4./JG3. He led the unit during the invasion of Russia. On 27 June 1941, Hauptmann Gollob was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG3. He claimed 18 victories in August. He was awarded the Ritterkreuz for 42 victories on 18 September. He achieved 37 victories in October, including nine Russian aircraft shot down covering operations over the Perekop Isthmus on 18 October. He followed up this feat by shooting down six enemy aircraft in the same area on 22 October. He was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 38) on 26 October for 85 victories. He was to lead II./JG3 until 20 November. In December 1941, Gollob was removed from operations and transferred on a temporary assignment to Erprobungstelle Rechlin to assist in the further development of the Bf-109, for which he suggested many innovative improvements. Following a brief attachment to the Stabsschwarm of JG54 from 13 March 1942, Major Gollob returned to southern Russia as Kommodore of JG77 on 16 May. He achieved his 100th victory on 20 May. He was awarded the Schwertern (Nr 13) on 23 June after 107 victories. He became the Jagdwaffe's highest scoring fighter pilot in August when he recorded his 150th victory. He was awarded and received the Brillanten (Nr 3) from Adolf Hitler personally on 29 August. He recorded 40 victories during August. On 1 October 1942, Gollob was transferred to the Stab of Jagdfliegerführer 3 on the Channel front. On 15 October, he was appointed Jagdführer 5 at Deauville in France, being responsible for the tactical fighter command of northwestern France. In April 1944, he was transferred to the personal staff of the General der Jagdflieger to represent him on the Jägerstab regarding development of jet aircraft projects. But here he fell out with Adolf Galland (104 victories, RK-Br) and was transferred to the Kommando der Eprobungstellen. In November, Oberst Gollob was appointed leader of the Jäger-Sonderstab for the Ardennes offensive. His final wartime appointment came when Adolf Galland was removed as General der Jadgflieger and Gollob was appointed in his place in January 1945. Gollob died on 7 September 1987 at Sulingen.

Gordon Gollob was credited with 150 victories achieved in 340 missions. He recorded 144 victories over the Eastern front.

Hans Iffland claimed his first victory on 6 August 1943 when he shot down a USAAF B-24 four-engined bomber while serving with 12./JG 3. His second victory, a USAAF B-26 twin-engined bomber, was achieved six months later while serving with 10./JG 3, but further victories came more rapidly thereafter. On 7 July 1944, in aerial combat over Oschersleben, Leutnant Iffland shot down a B-24 but was shot down by return fire. He baled out severely wounded from his Fw 190A-8/R2 (W.Nr. 680 750) over Halberstadt. The wounds he suffered during this battle kept him from any further operational flying. In the autumn of 1944, he received the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold.

Hans Iffland was credited with 18 victories. All his victories were recorded over the Western front and included 16 four-engined bombers.

Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke

Me109G-2 'Black Chevron and Bar' of Stab/JG3 'Udet' This plane was flown by a very unique man of the Luftwaffe - Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke, from Pitomnik in September 1942. Nicknamed 'Furst' (prince or sovereign) he was in command of the whole Jagdgeschwader 3 'Udet' in late 1942 even if he merely wore the rank of Hauptmann. Additionally he was given command of all German fighter units supporting the 6th Army at Stalingrad. This is an indicator of his abilities as fighter pilot and commanding officer, but also demonstrates his strained relations to the German leadership.

Wilcke was known to be a vocal opponent of the NSDAP and its representatives, which caused him a lot of trouble. In 1940 - when Goring ordered JG53 to remove the 'Ace of Spades' badge as sign of shame (the unit had supported its commander Major von Cramon-Taubadel, who was married to a Jewish woman, when he was about be removed from command) - Wilcke ordered his men to overpaint the swastikas on the tails of the Emils. Goring never forgave him for this affront.

After Stalingrad - where Wilcke claimed more than 100 victories - he was grounded by the RLM, but remained in command of JG3. When the Geschwader returned to Germany he started flying again. On March 23 1944 he met his fate after downing his 162nd and last enemy (a P-51). He was shot down and killed by another P-51, probably by Maj. Godfrey of 4th FG.

Wolf-Dietrich "Furst" Wilcke was born on 11 March 1913 at Schrimm in Posen. He enrolled in the Wehrmacht in 1934 and initially served in a Cavalry Regiment. In 1935, Oberfarnrich Wilcke transferred to the newly formed Luftwaffe. He completed his flying training at Perleberg and joined JG132. In autumn of 1937 he became an instructor at the Jagdfliegerschule Werneuchen. In early 1939, Oberleutnant Wilcke was sent to Spain to serve with the Condor Legion. His time spent there was short and he was soon back in Germany serving with III./JG53 under the command of Werner Molders. On 18 September 1939, Hauptmann Wilcke was appointed Staffelkapitan and ordered to form 7./JG53 within the newly constituted III./JG53. He gained his first victory on 7 November when he shot down a French Potez 637 twinengined fighter over the Saar valley. On 18 May 1940, Wilcke became separated from his Staffel during combat with French Hawk 75 fighters. He was shot down but managed to bale out. He was captured but was soon released at the fall of France. Wilcke returned to JG53 and participated in the Battle of Britain.

He was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG53 on 13 August 1940, following the death of Hauptmann Harro Harder (17 victories) in aerial combat. He nearly did not have the opportunity to take up the new position. During a late afternoon mission on 12 August, Wilcke's Bf-109E-4 suffered engine failure. He baled out into the sea and was very fortunate to be found in bright moonlight and rescued by a Do 18 twin-engine flying boat of the German air-sea rescue services. By early summer he had recorded 13 victories. Wilcke led III./JG53 during Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of Russia. On 22 June 1941, the opening day of the invasion, III./JG53 were returning from its first mission against Russian airfields in Lithuania when it encountered a formation of I-15bis biplane fighters. In the ensuing combat Wilcke downed three of the fighters. He recorded two further victories later that day to take his victory total to 18.

On 25 June, Wilcke was involved in a collision on take-off from Vilna in Bf-109F-2 (W.Nr. 8104). Both aircraft involved in the incident were destroyed by fire. He was lucky to escape with minor injuries. Hauptmann Wilcke was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 6 August 1940 for 25 victories. In December 1941, III./JG53 were transferred to Sicily. Wilcke's victory tally had reached 32. Operating over Malta, he added four RAF Spitfire fighters to his score. In early May 1942, III./JG53 was ordered to North Africa. On 18 May 1942, Wilcke was transferred to JG3 operating on the Eastern front. On 12 August, Major Wilcke was appointed Kommodore of JG3. He recorded his 100th victory on 6 September for which he was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 122) on 9 September.

Wilcke participated in the Battle of Stalingrad, based at Pitomnik, where he directed day fighter operations over the city. During the summer offensive of 1942, under the command of Wilcke, the Geschwaderstab/JG3 recorded 137 victories of which Wilcke claimed 97 (39-135). During this time the unit reported only one pilot lost. In September alone, Wilcke claimed 32 victories, including four enemy aircraft shot down on 18 September (103-106), six on 24 September (111-116) and another four shot down on 24 September (117-120). When Russian forces encircled Stalingrad, the Geschwaderstab/JG3 was transferred to Morozovskaya-Ost, outside the pocket. Wilcke directed fighter escort missions for the transport aircraft attempting to supply the surrounded 6th German Army. He claimed five victories on 17 December (147-151). Wilcke was the fourth German fighter pilot to reach 150 victories. On 23 December, he was awarded the Schwerten (Nr 23) for 155 victories. On the same day, he led the unit to Morozovskaya-Sud to escape the advance of the Russian armoured spearhead. A further move followed to Tazinskaya on 3 January 1943 where the unit remained until after the end of the fighting in the Stalingrad pocket. During this time the unit claimed a further 25 victories for the loss in action of two pilots. Wilcke claimed 21 to raise his victory total to 156.

From March 1943, he led JG3 over the Kuban bridgehead. However, he had been forbidden to fly operationally and had to lead the unit from the ground. In May 1943, JG3 was withdrawn to Germany. On its return to Germany, the Geschwaderstab/JG3 was based at Monchenglagbach. Oberst Wilcke was still under instructions not to fly combat missions. However, he began ignoring the orders in February 1944 and was able to record four victories over USAAF B-17 four-engined bombers and a single P-51 fighter. On 6 March, his machine Bf 109G-6 was damaged in aerial combat and Wilcke had to make an emergency landing at Neuruppin. Although his aircraft was destroyed, Wilcke escaped injury. On 23 March 1944, Wilcke led JG3 in an attack on a USAAF bomber formation near Braunschweig. During the ensuing combat, Wilcke shot down his 162nd, and last, victory, an escorting P-51 fighter, but was shot down near Schoppenstedt. He died in the wreckage of his Bf109G-6 (W.Nr. 160613) "Black << + -". It is thought he had become the victim of American aces Major Don Gentile (21.833 confirmed and 3 damaged victories) and Major John Godfrey (16.333 confirmed, 2 probale and 5 damaged victories) of the 336th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group, USAAF. 'Furst' Wilcke was credited with 162 victories in 732 missions. He recorded 137 victories over the Eastern front. Of his 25 victories recorded over the Western front, four were four-engine bombers.

Horst Petzschler

Horst Petzschler was born on 1 September 1921 at Berlin. He completed an apprenticeship as a toolmaker with Henschel Flugzeugwerke A.G. at Schonefeld after leaving school in April 1938. He was also active flying gliders. Petzschler joined the Luftwaffe on 1 April 1941. He spent five months receiving military training before reporting to Flugzeugfuhrerschule A/B 10 at Grottau. Having qualified for his pilot's licence, Unteroffizier Petzschler entered the flying schools at Oels and Ohlau to qualify on multi-engine aircraft following which he was transferred to the pilot training school at Prenzlau as an instructor. On 7 March 1943, he was assigned to JG105 at Villacoublay near Paris for fighter pilot training. Petzschler completed his final training on the Fw 190 A-2 near Toulouse, France.

Petzschler was posted to JG51, where he was assigned to the Geschwaderstab, based at Smolensk, arriving there on 23 August 1943. On his first mission on 7 September, flying as wingman to Feldwebel Anton Hafner (204 victories, RK-EL, killed in action 17 October 1944), he was shot down by Russian flak and baled out. His primary role was Jagdbomber tank busting, however he was also often involved in aerial combat and claimed his first victory on 11 May, when he shot down a Russian Yak-7 fighter near Nevel. He had completed 126 fighter-bomber missions and had three victories to his credit when he was advised of his transfer to the Western front. Petzschler was to 2./JG3, based at Burg in Germany, on 13 April 1944. On 12 May, he flew his first mission against the USAAF when he was scrambled to intercept an incoming raid. In the subsequent aerial combat southeast of Frankfurt, Petzschler claimed a B-17 four-engine bomber Herausschuss and an escorting P-51 fighter shot down. However, he received hits from other P-51 fighters necessitating a forced-landing near Fritzlar.

He was shot down again a few days later when, attempting to intercept a large formation of USAAF four-engine bombers heading for Berlin, he was intercepted and shot up by USAAF P-38 twin-engine fighters necessitating another belly-landing. On 28 May, he shot down a USAAF P-51 fighter near Magdeburg but was then again shot down himself. He baled unhurt near Rothensee.

Reassigned to JG51 in June 1944, Petzschler was reassigned to the Geschwaderstaffel, based at Minsk. He recorded his 10th victory in July when he shot down a Russian Yak-9 fighter near Wilkowischken. In September, Petzschler was transferred to the Fighter Pilot School at Liegnitz as an instructor. He returned to the Geschwaderstaffel of JG51 on 13 February 1945. He recorded his 20th victory in March, when he shot down a Russian Il-2 ground-attack aircraft near Zinten. On 1 April, he received promotion to the rank of Fahnenjunker-Feldwebel. He had taken his victory total to 26 when, on 4 May 1945, III./JG51 were ordered to leave East Prussia for Schleswig-Holstein. However, Petzschler, due to navigational problems and a damaged fuel tank, make a dead-stick landing at Bulltofta in neutral Sweden because he had run out of fuel. The Swedish authorities interned Petzschler. In January 1946, Sweden handed Petzschler over to the Russians who imprisoned him. He was eventually released on 22 September 1949. After six months recuperation, Petzschler joined the Berlin police force. However, he soon returned to aircraft manufacturing, his pre-war profession. In 1951, he gained employment with British European Airways. In 1953, he and his family immigrated to Canada. There he worked as an auto mechanic before moving to the United States. In the US he started to work in the aircraft industry. He has worked for Boeing, Lear, Northrop and Beechcraft. He finally retired in 1988.

Horst Petzschler was credited with 26 victories in 297 missions. He recorded four victories over the Western front, including two four-engine bombers. Petzschler was shot down 13 times during his combat career, crash-landing 11 times and baling out twice. He was shot down 11 times by flak and twice by enemy fighters.

Karl-Heinz Langer

Karl-Heinz Langer was born on 19 April 1914 at Görlitz in Schlesien. Langer held the post of Gruppenadjutant of III./JG 3 from 26 May 1941. However, Oberleutnant Langer gained his first victory on 14 July 1941 over the Eastern front flying with 7./JG 3. On 21 May 1942, Langer ran out of fuel returning from a mission and was forced to make an emergency landing in his Bf 109 F-4 (W.Nr. 13 234) at Krementshug. He escaped injury and his aircraft was only slightly damaged.

Langer suffered engine failure in Bf 109 F-4 (W.Nr. 13 139) on 5 September necessitating an emergency landing west of Golubinskaja which wrote off his aircraft but from which he emerged unscathed. On 17 December, with his victory total at 10, Langer was wounded when his Bf 109 G-2 (W.Nr. 13 739) rolled over an unexploded bomb on the airfield at Pitomnik near Stalingrad and detonated. On his recovery, he shot down a Russian Yak-1 fighter over Stalingrad on 28 December to record his 11th victory.

Langer became Staffelkapitän of 7./JG 3 on 1 June 1943, shortly before the Kursk offensive. He had 11 victories to his credit at this time. Langer was appointed acting Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 3 on 14 July, following the capture of Major Wolfgang Ewald (78 victories, RK) by the Russians. He led the unit until relieved by Hauptmann Walter Dahl (128 victories, RK-EL) on 20 July.

The unit then moved back to Germany for Reichsverteidigung duties. He shot down his first four-engine bomber on the second Schweinfurt raid of 14 October 1943 for his 16th victory. Langer was himself shot down on this raid. He baled out of his stricken Bf 109 G-6 (WNr 26024) near Hammelburg wounded. While he was recuperating from his wounds he served as an instructor with Ergänzungsungs-Jagdgruppe Ost before rejoining the Gruppe in spring 1944. On 25 May 1944, Langer was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 3, taking over from Walter Dahl. On 26 July, he was awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold.

He led the unit on the 1 January 1945 Bodenplatte operation claiming two RAF Spitfire fighters destroyed on the ground at Eindhoven airfield. He was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 20 April 1945. Langer’s 30th and last victory was achieved over a Russian Yak-3 fighter on 23 April 1945. Langer survived the war but died on 6 May 1955 in Remschied.

Karl-Heinz Langer was credited with 30 victories in 486 missions. He recorded 10 victories over the Western front, including four four-engine bombers.

Oskar 'Ossi' Romm

Oskar "Ossi" Romm was born on 18 December 1919 at Haindorf in the Isergebirge region of Friedland/Sudetenland. He joined the Luftwaffe in 1939 and trained as a fighter pilot from July 1941 to August 1942. Romm was posted to JG51 based on the Eastern front on 11 September 1942.

Unteroffizier Romm was assigned to 1./JG51. His first combat mission on 29 September ended with a belly landing and some minor injuries. His second resulted in his first victory when he shot down a Russian Il-2 Sturmovik ground-attack aircraft on 4 December, but was again followed by a belly landing and further injuries. He then enjoyed spectacular success. He shot down three enemy aircraft on 13 July 1943 to record his 18th through 20th victories, five on 14 August (32-36) and six on 20 August (43-48). From late August 1943, Romm undertook a period of instructing with Erganzung-Jagdgruppe Ost. He returned to 1./JG51 in January 1944. He shot down six enemy aircraft on 5 February (71-76). Oberfeldwebel Romm was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 29 February for 76 victories.

On 1 June 1944, Leutnant Romm was transferred to the Stabsschwarm of IV./JG3 on Reichverteidigung duties. On 7 July, he was appointed Staffelkapitan of 15./JG3. He shot down his first four-engine bomber on 7 July 1944. In all he accounted for eight four-engine bombers while with the unit, including three USAAF B-24s in one attack on 27 September 1944. In November 1944, Romm was transferred to lead 4./JG3 and then to the Stabsschwarm of I./EJG1. Romm was appointed Staffelkapitan of 15./JG3, based on the Eastern front, on 15 January 1945. There the unit undertook fighter-bomber and ground attack missions against the advancing Russian army. Romm was credited with 34 tanks destroyed as well many other vehicles. On 18 February 1945, Oberleutnant Romm became Gruppenkommandeur of IV./JG3, taking over from Major Erwin Bacsila (34 victories, DK). He recorded a further six victories to bring his victory total to 92. Romm's wartime career ended on 24 April 1945, when he was severely injured in a crash-landing when, following aerial combat with Russian Il-2 Sturmoviks south of Stettin, his engine overheated.

Oskar Romm accounted for 92 enemy aircraft in 283 combat missions, including 54 fighter-bomber missions. He recorded 82 victories over the Eastern front including at least 34 Il-2 Sturmovik ground attack aircraft. Of his 10 victories recorded over the Western front, eight were four-engine bombers.

Viktor Bauer

Viktor Bauer was born on 19 September 1915 at Löcknitz in the Randow region of Vorpommern. He joined the Luftwaffe in 1936 with the rank of Fahnenjunker. Following the completion of his fighter pilot training, he was posted to I./JG2. On 1 March 1940, Leutnant Bauer was serving with 2./JG77.

Bauer participated in the French campaign with the unit and was to gain his first aerial victory over Belgium on 15 May, when he shot down a RAF Hurricane fighter near Brügge. He gained one further victory during the French campaign serving with 1./JG77, when he shot down another Hurricane near Cambrai on 18 May. Bauer served in the Battle of Britain. By November 1940, he was serving with 9./JG3.

He gained one victory during the aerial battles over England to raise his victory total to three. On 5 February 1941, he claimed his 4th victory, a RAF Hurricane, over the Channel. This would prove to be last victory gained over the Western front. Shortly before the invasion of Russia began, Bauer was appointed Staffelkapitän of 9./JG3. In June 1941, he claimed 15 Russian aircraft shot down, including five Russian SB-2 twin-engine bombers claimed on 26 June for his 7th through 11th victories. He claimed 17 victories in July, including five Russian DB-3 twin-engine bombers on 12 July (26-30). Oberleutnant Bauer was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 30 July for 36 victories. On 23 July, Bauer was badly wounded in aerial combat with Russian bombers but was able to make an emergency landing in his Bf 109F-2 (W.Nr. 8987). He was to spend many months in hospital finally returning to combat duty in February 1942. Bauer recorded his 40th victory on 18 February followed by his 50th on 4 April. On 22 May, he claimed four Russian I-61 fighters shot down (57–60). He claimed a further four victories on 30 June (66-69). Bauer was spectacularly successful in July 1942 recording 33 victories during the month. Five times he shot down four enemy aircraft in a day and twice recorded five victories in a day. On 25 July, he claimed four victories (99-102). He was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 107) the next day. On 9 August, he claimed his 106th victory but one day later his Bf109F-4 (WNr. 13241) was damaged by enemy fire and Bauer wounded. He successfully carried out an emergency landing.

Following his recovery, Bauer was transferred as a Staffelkapitän to Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe Ost. On 1 July 1943, Major Bauer was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe Ost, a position he was to hold until 4 November 1944. On 1 December 1944, Oberst Bauer was appointed Kommodore of EJG1. Bauer served in this role until the end of the war. Bauer died on 13 December 1969 at Bad Homburg.

Viktor Bauer was credited with 106 victories in approximately 400 missions. He recorded 102 of his victories over the Eastern front, including 27 Il-2 Sturmoviks.

Kurt Sochatzy

Kurt Sochatzy was born on 5 February 1915 at Schlo? Pragerhof near Marburg in the Drau region of Austria. He joined the Austrian Luftstreitkrafte in 1935. Following the German annexation of Austria in 1938, Sochatzy transferred to the Luftwaffe serving with I./JG138 from July. In November, I./JG138 was redesignated I./JG134. In February 1939, Sochatzy joined Condor Legion in support of the Nationalist cause in the Spanish Civil War. Leutnant Sochatzy was assigned to 3.Staffel of J88. He was awarded the Spanienkreuz in Bronze mit Schwerten for his accomplishments in that conflict. On his return to Germany, Sochatzy was transferred to I./JG76 in July 1939. He participated in the Polish campaign with the unit earning promotion to the rank of Oberleutnant. In January 1940, Sochatzy was appointed Adjutant of Jagdfliegerschule 5. Later, he was appointed Staffelkapitan of 3./JFS5, where he trained future Experten Hans-Joachim Marseille (158 victories, RK-Br, killed in action 30 September 1942), Walter Nowotny (258 victories, RK-Br, killed in action 8 November 1944) and Hans Strelow (68 victories, RK-EL, killed in action 22 May 1942). Sochatzy was appointed Staffelkapitan of 7./JG3, based on the Channel front, on 15 December 1940. He led the unit during Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of Russia. On 26 June, he claimed his first victory, when he shot down a Russian SB-2 twin-engine bomber. Sochatzy claimed three enemy aircraft shot down on 30 June to raise his victory total to five. In July, he claimed 30 victories, including three Russian SB-2 twin-engine bombers shot down on 6 July to record his eighth through 10th victories, five Russian twin-engine bombers on 9 July (13-17), his 20th victory on 12 July, when he shot down a Russian I-16 fighter and five Russian DB-3 twin-engine bombers shot down on 23 July (27-31). However, on 16 July, after shooting down two Russian SB-3 twin-engine bombers, he was forced to make an emergency landing in his Bf 109F-2 W.Nr. 9612 (W12+I) behind enemy lines. Sochatzy was initially reported missing but made his way back to his unit.

On 3 August 1941, in combat with Russian Il-2 ground-attack aircraft, Sochatzy was shot down in Bf109F-2 (W.Nr. 8217) (W9+). He baled out of his stricken aircraft but was then captured by Russian troops on landing. Sochatzy was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 12 August 1941 in absentia for 38 aerial victories in addition to 27 aircraft and two trains destroyed on the ground. He returned to Germany in September 1947.

Kurt Sochatzy was credited with 38 victories in 180 missions. He recorded 35 victories over the Eastern front.

Otto Wessling or Otto Weßling

Otto Weßling was born on 23 September 1913 at Bad Harzburg in Harz. We?ling was posted to JG3 in March 1940. Gefreiter We?ling was assigned to 9./JG3. He claimed his first victory on 30 June when he claimed a RAF Spitfire fighter shot down near St Omer. He had increased his tally to four by the time the unit was withdrawn from France to prepare for the invasion of Russia. By the end of 1941, now operating over the Eastern front, We?ling had eight victories to his credit. He claimed 18 victories in March 1942, including his 10th, a Russian I-61 fighter, on 6 March, three Russian I-301 fighters shot down on 17 March to record his 15th through 17th victories and two more I-61s shot down on 20 March (19-20). On 1 April 1942, Oberfeldwebel We?ling was transferred to 3./JG3. On 22 June, he shot down four Russian MiG-1 fighters (35-38). On 29 June, We?ling claimed his 40th victory, when he shot down a Russian Il-2 Sturmovik ground attack aircraft, but was then shot down by Russian ground fire necessitating an emergency landing in Bf109F-4 (W.Nr. 10222) behind enemy lines, south of Belayev. Despite being wounded, We?ling succeeded in evading capture, returning to German lines several days later. On 17 July, he claimed three enemy aircraft shot down (45-47) and repeated the feat on 21 July (48-50). On 28 August, We?ling claimed two Russian fighters shot down (59-60). Oberfeldwebel We?ling was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 4 September for 62 victories.

We?ling was transferred to Erganzungs-Jagdgruppe Ost for a spell of instructing. Here, he also received promotion to the rank of Leutnant. On 1 June 1943, We?ling was transferred to 10./JG3 based in Italy. He shot down two USAAF B-24 four-engine bombers on 2 July (68-69). On 12 July, We?ling claimed three RAF Spitfires shot down over Sicily (65-67). We?ling was appointed Staffelkapitan of 10./JG3 on 17 July 1943. On 21 July, he was badly wounded by bomb fragments during an air raid on his airfield at Leverano. On his recovery We?ling was appointed Staffelkapitan of 11./JG3. At the end of September 1943, IV./JG3 was relocated to Germany to perform Reichsverteidigung duties. We?ling had 70 victories to his credit at this time. During early April 1944, he was particularly successful against USAAF four-engine raids claiming three B-17s shot down on 11 April (78-80) and nine in total up to 18 April. On 19 April 1944, We?ling was shot down and killed in aerial combat near Eschwege in Bf-109G-6 (W.Nr. 412052). He was posthumously awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 530) on 20 July.

Otto Weßling was credited with 83 victories in approximately 500 missions. He claimed 56 victories over the Eastern front, including eight Il-2 Sturmoviks. Of the 27 victories he recorded over the Western front, 15 were four-engine bombers. In addition he claimed six aircraft destroyed on the ground.

Alfred 'Fred' Heckmann

Alfred "Fred" Heckmann was born on 25 June 1914 at Bochum-Langendreer. On 5 February 1940, Heckmann was posted to JG3. Unteroffizier Heckmann was assigned to 5./JG3. He gained his first victory on 6 June 1940, when he shot down a French Morane fighter near Abbeville. He added two RAF Spitfire fighters during the Battle of Britain. Feldwebel Heckmann participated in the invasion of Russia with JG3 and gained 24 victories between June and October 1941, including his 10th victory on 2 July and his 20th on 12 September, before being withdrawn to Germany for rest and reequipment in late October. Following re-equipment with new Bf 109 F-4trop fighters, II./JG3 and Heckmann were relocated to Sicily at the beginning of January 1942. Heckmann flew a number of missions over Malta without adding to his victory total. II./JG3 were withdrawn from the Mediterranean theatre in April 1942 in preparation for a return to the Eastern front. The unit arrived back on the Eastern front in June 1942. Oberfeldwebel Heckmann added 17 Russian aircraft to his victory total in July 1942, including four Boston twin-engine bombers shot down on 10 July to record his 35th through 38th victories. He was awarded the Ritterkreuz for 50 victories on 19 September 1942. In October 1942, Heckmann was transferred to 1./JG26 operating over the Western front. In winter 1943, he transferred with I./JG26 back to the Eastern front in an exchange with JG54 who were transferring to the west. In the three and and a half months the Gruppe was based in Russia, it achieved 127 victories. Oberfeldwebel Heckmann claimed four victories during this period, all Il-2 Stormovik ground-attack aircraft. On 28 February 1943, Heckmann left 1./JG26 to take up instructing duties with Erganzung-Jagdgruppe Ost. He returned to JG26 in July being re-assigned to 1.Staffel.

Oberleutnant Heckmann was appointed Staffelkapitan of 3./JG26 on 23 January 1944. On 21 September, I./JG26 encountered a formation of RAF C-47 Dakota twin-engine transports over s'Hertogenbosch en route to drop parachutists to reinforce the Allied aerial landings at Arnhem. Heckmann claimed four of the transports shot down (66-69).

On 27 March 1945, Heckmann was appointed Staffelkapitan of 5./JG26 following the death of Oberleutnant Wilhelm Hofmann (44 victories, RK, killed in action 26 March 1945). Heckmann's stay with 5./JG26 was short however, as he was transferred to JV 44 at Munchen-Reim on 14 April 1945. He never joined the unit getting no further than Lechfeld.

Fred Heckmann flew over 600 missions in claiming 71 victories. He recorded 54 victories over the Eastern front. Of his 17 victories recorded over the Western front, three were four-engine bombers.

Helmut Meckel

Helmut Meckel was born on 23 August 1917 at München. In October 1935, he was serving with an artillery regiment. He transferred as a Leutnant to the Luftwaffe in spring 1939. At the outbreak of World War 2, Meckel was serving with JG3. Leutnant Meckel was assigned to 1./JG3. He recorded his first victory during the Battle of France on 7 June 1940, when he shot down a RAF Hurricane fighter near Abbeville. On 16 September 1940, Meckel was appointed Staffelkapitän of 2./JG3. He raised his victory total to nine during the Battle of Britain. On 24 August, Meckel was fired at when he approached a Do 18 twin-engine flying boat.

His Bf-109E-3 (W.Nr. 1649) was hit in the radiator necessitating a forced-landing at Calais airfield. On 5 February 1941, Meckel shot down two Spitfire fighters near St Omer to record his 10th and 11th victories. Meckel led 2./JG3 during the invasion of Russia. The unit was mainly involved in low-level attacks against Soviet airfields, vehicle columns and troop concentrations as well as railway targets. Consequently it had fewer opportunities to engage in aerial combat. However, Meckel managed to record 14 victories during the early weeks in Russia. On 27 July, following a low-level attack on Adamay airfield led by Oberleutnant Meckel, 2./JG3 reported 20 enemy aircraft destroyed on the ground by bombing. The next day, it claimed 10 to 12 destroyed in an attack on an airfield near Kurowice.

On 2 July, 2./JG3 were performing another fighter-bomber mission when it was intercepted by Russian fighters forcing them to jettison their bombs. In the ensuing combat, Meckel's Bf109F-2 (W.Nr. 5472) was hit by enemy fire, which damaged the retraction mechanism of one undercarraige leg. Meckel was lucky and executed a successful one wheel landing at his home base. On 15 July 1941, Meckel was removed from front line duties suffering an illness. He returned to Germany for treatment. Oberleutnant Meckel was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 12 August for 25 victories. In 1942, Meckel was an instructor at the Luftkriegsschule at Berlin-Gatow. In early 1943, he was transferred to the staff of JG77 based in North Africa. On 8 May 1943, Meckel was killed in a flying accident at Korbous-East in Bf-108B-1 (W.Nr. 3073) with four others during the evacuation of Tunisia.

Helmut Meckel was credited with 25 victories. He recorded 11 victories over the Western front.

Robert Olejnik

Robert Olejnik was born on 9 March 1911 at Essen-Borbeck. In October 1933, he learned to fly at the Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule and, in March 1935, entered the Luftwaffe becoming a fighter pilot instructor for a long period. On 15 June 1940, Olejnik was transferred to JG 3. Oberfeldwebel Olejnik was assigned to 2./JG 3. He recorded his first victory on 26 August during the Battle of Britain. By the end of 1940, his victory total stood at five.

In January 1941, Olejnik was promoted to the rank of Leutnant and, on 17 May, he was appointed Staffelkapitän of 1./JG 3. He led the unit during the invasion of the Soviet Union. On 22 June 1941, at 0340, Olejnik shot down a Russian I-16 fighter, the first pilot to score a victory over the Eastern front. He shot down four Russian bombers on 23 June, to record his seventh through 10th victories, and a further five on 26 June (11-15). Olejnik was shot down on 27 June, in combat with Russian I-16 fighters over Kanev. It is thought that he was the victim of Russian ace Leitenant Vasilii Demenok (8 victories, killed in action 14 August 1941) of 88 IAP, VVS. After reaching 32 victories, he was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 30 June.

On 14 August, in aerial combat with I-16s, Olejnik’s Bf 109 F received hits in the radiator necessitating a forced landing near Vasilkov. He escaped injury. By 14 September, when I./JG 3 left Russia, he had 37 victories to his credit. Following re-equipment with Bf 109 F-4 fighters, I./JG 3 was relocated to bases in Holland to perform shipping protection patrols and to intercept enemy formations. On 15 January 1942, I./JG 3 was redesignated II./JG 1. Olejnik retained command of 1./JG 3 as 3./JG 1.

In May 1943, Olejnik was appointed acting Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 1 following the loss of Hauptmann Dietrich Wickop (13 victories) on 16 May. He relinquished command to Hauptmann Walter Hoeckner (68 victories, RK, killed in action 25 April 1944) on 28 June, reverting to the leadership of 4./JG 1. On 26 July 1943, Hauptmann Olejnik was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 1 following the loss of Major Karl-Heinz Leesmann (37 victories, RK) on 25 June. He was to claim his last three victories of the war with this unit, all USAAF B-17 four-engine bombers.

Olejnik relinquished command of III./JG 1 to Hauptmann Friedrich Eberle (33 victories, DKiG) on 8 October 1943 when he was assigned to Erprobungskommando 16 to test the rocket-powered Me 163 fighter. On 21 December, he was appointed acting Gruppenkommandeur of Jagdgruppe Süd, but three days later left this unit and was reassigned to EKdo 16. Following a flight on 21 April 1944, the engine of his Me 163 B exploded on landing at Wittmundhaven. Considering most previous accidents of this type had had deadly results, Olejnik was very lucky to escape with “just” a broken back and facial injuries. Following release from hospital in August, he was assigned to JG 400. Olejnik was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of I./JG 400 in September 1944 .

On 2 November 1944, Olejnik took command of IV./EJG 2, equipped with Me 163s, based at Udetfeld. He was to end his war serving with this unit. Olejnik died on 29 October 1988 in Munich.

Robert Olejnik was credited with 42 victories achieved flying 680 missions. He recorded 32 victories scored over the Eastern front. Of his 10 victories recorded over the Western front, three were four-engine bombers.

At the 17.12.43, around 3 pm, Kirschner took off with a flight of four Bf109G from Mostar airfield in Yugoslavia and flew to the west, in the direction Adriatic Sea.

The enemy took off from the airfield Foggia in Italy at about 2 pm with 13 aircrafts at a good visibility. This were six P-40 “Warhawks” from the 66th Squadron and seven P-47D “Thunderboldts” as cover. Three from the 66th Squadron as leader and two of the 64th Squadron and two of the 65th Squadron. The P-47D saw here from the 1st of December on their first action. For the American pilots this were new aircrafts, they had not more than 15 hours flown with them. The order was to look for the ship movements at the Ston area. The unit was at about 10 000 feet when they detected over Ploce the five Messerschmitts. They flew at the same altitude in the direction Southwest. They turned in and Lt. Liebing from the 64th Squadron fired at one aircraft and saw that the tail section broke off and the aircraft crashed on the ground. Lt. Shaw of the 64th Squadron confirmed this. Two aircraft fled to the south in the direction of the Peljesac peninsula and escaped. The other both aircrafts fled in the direction Metkovic.

With this aircrafts started a fight. Kirschner climbed vertically, Lt. Leaf and Lt. Barlow followed him and fired. The Bf109 stalled and Kirschner bailed out. The two Americans turned and passed Kirschner and saw that he was ok and that he went down over land. Lt. Leaf pursued the other aircraft for some minutes at low level upcountry, but could not catch up. He noticed, that he, without auxiliary fuel tanks, was low on fuel, turned back to the others and together they went home. Nevertheless, the aircraft was claimed by Lt. Shaw. It had to be noted, that only the victory of Lt. Shaw was confirmed, what obviously didn’t happen.The aircraft of Kirschner crashed on the Crnoglav hill. During the descent of Kirschner at the parachute, he was already shot from the ground, but not hit. He landed between the villages of Bjelojevici and Donje Hrasno (V-8585) and was captured. He saluted his enemies and gave them his weapon. They were a 300 men battalion, named “Marko Mihic” and were a part of the 29th Hercegovaca Udarna Diviza. The leader of this unit was a former Croatian airforce officer, Komnevic.

Kirschner was taken to the village of Grab, tied at a peach tree and shot. His grave is said in the area of Breovina and Bjelojevici, about 9 km south of Stolac. From the german side two “storks” were sent out for search, but they retuned without a result.Then a search party in Mostar was established by the SS. It consisted out of a passenger car and four trucks with 80 men. But they were caught in an ambush by the same battalion between the villages of Burmazi and Udore. Two officers and four soldiers were killed, one officer and 22 men were captured. Their further fate is unknown. Due to other sources, all soldiers were shot.The search party of the airforce and three SS-men were killed, after they were undressed, near Vlaka, 15 km southeast of Stolac and buried hurriedly in a cavity. The leading Leutnant Krammer was shot, when he tried to escape and declared dead at the 18.3.44. The provided information about the SS detachment came from the Tschetnikleader Mitart Trivkovic, who met the SS - Sturmbannführer at the 12.1.44 in Prebillovici.

At the 29th of June 1944 started negotiations about an exchange of prisoners near Stoc at the “summit 286”.The german side was leaded by an Hauptmann Kurz (Kurtz) who made concessions for the exhumation of the body of Kirschner. He thought, that Kirschner was buried near the village of Donje Hrasno.There was an order at the german side to shoot 100 hostages for every killed german soldier and for every wounded german soldier to shoot 50 hostages. It was said, that the airforce -leaders insisted in strict reprisals. In accordance to Otto Kumm, this orders were accomplished. About any reprisals from the german side, nothing could be found.Immediately at the 18th of December Marshall Tito radioed to the brigade commander, that he and the comissioner should come to him for reporting. They justified the shooting of Kirschner with, that he was an intruder and invasor, and therefore shot him summarily. It was even noted later at the Nürnberg trials, that the dead body of Kirschner was found with a cut throat and pricked eyes. This was also confirmed by a comrade of Kirschner, F. E. Köbel.The radio communication of the partisans was bugged from the radio enlightenment of the OKW under Hauptmann Gerhard Wollny and evaluated and leaded at the 25th of May 1944 to the commando “Röselsprung”, the capture of Tito. But he could escape. The Reichsministerium stated for the 28.2.44, that Hauptmann Kirschner, identification tag Nr. 57011/26, had to be listed as fallen. This die case was at the registry office 12/13 in Vienna listed for certification.

Until today his grave is unknown.

Hauptmann Joachim Kirschner had flown approximately 600 combat missions, during which he had 188 confirmed victories, 21 of which on the Western Front (at least 2 four engine bombers).

Günther 'Franzl' Lützow

Günther 'Franzl' Lützow was born on 4 September 1912 at Kiel to an illustrious German naval family. He was descended from an old Prussian family of the same name. In 1931, he learned to fly at the Deutschen Verkehrsfliegerschule at Schliessheim. Later, he underwent fighter pilot training at the clandestine German base at Lipetsk in Russia. 1934 saw Lützow serving as a Leutnant with an Infantry Regiment before transferring to the newly formed Luftwaffe. Initially, he served with I./JG132 'Richtofen'.

Lützow commenced his operational career as a fighter pilot as Staffelkapitän of 2./J88 of the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. Between March and September 1937, Oberleutnant Lützow accumulated five victories, including the first ever recorded by the Bf-109, and was awarded the Spanienkreuz in Gold mit Schwerten und Brillanten. From November 1938, Lützow undertook instructing duties at Jagdfliegerschule 1, based at Werneuchen, before being appointed Gruppenkommandeur of I./JG3 on 3 November 1939. He led the Gruppe through the French campaign recording nine victories, including his first in World War 2, on 14 May 1940, when he shot down two French Curtiss Hawk 75 fighters near Dinant. Lützow led I./JG3 into the Battle of Britain. On 21 August 1940, Oberstleutnant Lützow was appointed Kommodore of JG3. He recorded eight further victories during the aerial battles over England.

Lützow was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 18 September. In spring 1941, Stab/JG3 was relocated to Mannheim-Sandhofen in Germany for rest and refit. Here the unit received new Bf 109F-2 fighters before again being relocated to the Channel front on 4 May 1941. Lützow led JG3 during the invasion of Russia. On 17 July 1941, he recorded his 40th victory. He was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 27) on 20 July. On 17 September, he shot down his 72nd victim. He was shot down by flak on 23 September, force-landing behind enemy lines. He successfully returned unhurt.

In October, he recorded 29 victories, including five Russian twin-engine bombers shot down on 8 October. He was awarded the Schwerten (Nr 4) on 11 October 1941, after his 92nd victory. He became the second Experte to achieve 100 victories, when he downed three Russian fighters in the Moscow area on 24 October to record victories 99 through 101. Lützow was promptly grounded on orders from above. On 4 November, he led Stab/JG3 back to Germany and a base at Wiesbaden-Erbenheim to rest and re-equip. In May 1942, Lützow led JG3 back to the Russian front commencing operations in the Kharkov area. There followed much action in the Crimea and before Stalingrad. Lützow added one additional victory when he shot down a Russian I-61 fighter on 21 May 1942 for his 107th victory. On 11 August 1942, Lützow was posted to the staff of the General der Jagdflieger where he took up the role of Inspector of Day Fighters, Eastern area. In July 1943, Oberst Lützow was appointed Kommandeur of Jagdabschnittsführer Italien, based at Naples. In September, the unit was absorbed into Jagdfliegerführer Oberitalien.

He then commanded 1. Jagddivision based at Döberitz from 15 September until 23 March 1944, where he assumed overall command for day and night fighter operations in north western Germany, Holland and Belgium. By January 1944, he was commanding 4. Fliegerschuldivision based at Strassburg, responsible for the training of new fighter pilots. Lützow would become known as the prinicipal architect behind the so-called 'Fighter Pilots' Mutiny'. In fact the 'Mutiny' was a valiant and well-intended attempt to 'save' Adolf Galland who had been dismissed as General der Jagdflieger for his out spokeness of the Luftwaffe high command. Lützow's part in the affair was regarded as 'mutiny' by Göring who relieved him of his command of 4. Fliegerschuldivision and had him posted, in exile, to Italy to take over Jagdfliegerführer Oberitalien. He was later granted approval to join Adolf Galland's JV44. Lützow recorded two additional victories flying the Me-262 jet fighter, but then went missing on 24 April 1945 near Donauworth attempting to intercept a USAAF B-26 twin-engine bomber raid. His body was never recovered and his aircraft never found…

Günther Lützow was credited with 110 victories achieved in over 300 combat missions. He scored 5 victories during the Spanish Civil War. He recorded 20 victories over the Western Front, including at least one four-engine bombers, and 85 victories over the Eastern Front.

Detlev Rohwer

Detlev Rohwer was born on 14 November 1917 at Kiel. At the outbreak of World War 2, Rohwer was serving with JG3. Leutnant Rohwer was assigned to the Stabsstaffel of I./JG3. He participated in the French campaign and claimed his first victory on 6 June 1940, when he shot down a RAF Blenheim twin-engine bomber. During the Battle of Britain, Rohwer added three RAF fighters to his victory total. However on 2 September 1940, during a covering mission over Manston, his Bf-109 E was hit in the radiator in aerial combat with RAF Hurricane fighters. He was forced to ditch in the sea just off the coast of France. Fortunately he was observed doing so by several of his colleagues and a motorboat was able to rescue him. Rohwer was fortunate to escape injury on 16 November, when he ground looped on take-off from St Omer in Bf-109 E-7 (W.Nr. 3760). Rohwer participated in the invasion of Russia. He claimed three Russian twin-engine bombers shot down on 26 June 1941, to record his sixth through eighth victories. Rohwer recorded his 10th victory on 29 June, when he shot down two Russian Pe-2 twin-engine bombers near Ostrow. He recorded 10 victories in July, including three victories on 13 July (14-16) and 16 July (17-19) and his 20th victory on 31 July. However, he was also shot down twice in July: on 9 July his Bf 109F-2 (W.Nr. 5449) was damaged in aerial combat necessitating a forced-landing near Dolbov with Rohwer receiving minor injuries; on 16 July, his Bf109F-2 (W.Nr. 8187) Black <+ suffered radiator damage in aerial combat with Russian SB-2 twinengine bombers which also resulted in a forced-landing, this time near Kazatin.

Rohwer was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 5 October for 28 victories. He had also claimed six aircraft destroyed on the ground. At the beginning of October 1941, I./JG3 was withdrawn to Germany for rest and refit after which it was relocated to the German and Dutch coastal region. On 15 January 1942, I./JG3 was redesignated II./JG1. Rohwer commanded the Stabskompanie and, from 20 March, 6./JG1. On 20 June 1942, Oberleutnant Rohwer was appointed acting Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG1.

He relinquished command to Hauptmann Robert Kijewski (24 victories, DK, killed in action 16 April 1943) on 14 October 1942. Rohwer was appointed Staffelkapitän of 2./JG3, based on the Eastern front, on 14 October 1942. He was badly wounded by flak during a low-level attack near Chir on 29 November.

He managed to bring his Bf-109G-2/R1 (W.Nr. 13910) to friendly territory where he landed safely. His recovery period was a lengthy one for he did not return to his unit until August 1943, by which time it had relocated to the Western front on Reichsverteidigung duties. On 5 December 1943, Rohwer was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG3. Rohwer engaged USAAF B-17 four-engine bombers on 29 March 1944. His Bf-109G-6 (W.Nr. 440295) Black <<+ was hit by return fire from the bombers necessitating a belly-landing at Mettingen. No sooner had he put his aircraft on the ground when a USAAF P-38 twin-engine fighter strafed him and he suffered severe wounds. He was hospitalised at Ibbenbüren where he had a leg amputated. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his wounds on 30 March. Detlev Rohwer was credited with 38 victories. He recorded 26 victories over the Eastern front.
