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.

Awards:RK(10/29/44), DK-G(1/1/45), EK 1 & 2, Wound Badge, Fighter Operational Clasp

Known Aircraft:Fw 190A-6 & Bf 109G-6 in JG-300, Fw 190A-8/R2 WNr 682057(Rammtrager lost 11/2/44)

Remarks:KIA 2 November, 1944, in Wk# 682057 when he reportedly rammed a B-17 headed for the Gelsenkirchen Oil facility. After the collision, he was unable to bail out of the falling mass of wreckage. There is little evidence to support the ramming. His wingman this date, Fw Oscar Bösch, indicated Gerth was shot down by fighters. In addition, he was reported to have bailed, but his chute did not open. Promoted to Hptm posthumously. One of the most daring of the JG-3 pilots, he was shot down nearly a dozen times. He was known to have lost a JG-300 aircraft on 2 January, 1944, circumstances unknown. One known victory, a B-17 at Bielefeld on 22 February, 1944, while in Sturmstaffel 1. His 4th & 5th, both B-24's; one at Salzgitter, the other at Haldersleben, on 11 April, 1944. His 7th and 8th, both B-17's, one NE of Gifhorn and one at Miesterhorst on 29 April, 1944 (Perry Claims). His 10th, a B-17 at Fehmarn Belt on 19 May, 1944. His 15th, a B-17 SE of Kempten on 18 July, 1944. His 20th, a B-24 at Lechtaler Alpen on 3 August, 1944. His 25th, a P-51 at Quedlingburg on 11 September, 1944. Bowers/Lednicer, 30+ victories.

Willi Maximowitz

Willi Maximowitz was born on 29 January 1920 at Wuppertal-Barnen. At the end of 1943, when Major von Kornatzski (6 victories) was looking for volunteers for Sturmstaffel 1, Maximowitz, by this time an Unteroffizier with JG1, was one of those who enlisted. He had already achieved his first success when he shot down a USAAF B-24 four-engine bomber on 30 January 1944. On 23 March 1944, he shot down his third four-engine bomber, a USAAF B-17, but his Focke-Wulf 190 A-6 (W.Nr. 551 099) "White 10" was hit by return fire from the bombers and a wounded Maximowitz had to bale out near Wuppertal. Following recovery from his wounds he returned to Sturmstaffel 1 and added another B-17, shot down over Helmstedt on 29 April 1944, to his tally. On 8 May 1944, Sturmstaffel 1 was integrated into IV./JG3 as its 11. Staffel. In June , Maximowitz undertook combat flights in support of the German army in Normandy. These missions were flown with IV.Gruppe from Dreux airfield in France. Maximowitz shot down a B-17 near Leipzig for his 10th victory on 20 July. On 28 July , IV./JG3 scrambled against USAAF four-engine bombers. Maximowitz was shot down by the fighter escort and was slightly wounded. On 30 July, he was promoted to the rank of Feldwebel, but was wounded in a landing accident in Fw 190 A-8/R2 (W.Nr. 680 756). After recuperating from his injuries, he returned to his unit (renamed 14./JG3 on 10 August).

He flew as Kaczmarek to Gruppenkommandeur, IV./JG3, Hauptmann Wilhelm Moritz (44 victories, 15 of them four-engine bombers, RK). In February 1945, IV./JG3 moved to the Russian Front. On 11 March, Maximowitz was credited with three Russian Boston twin-engine bombers and a fighter shot down. On 20 April 1945, Oberfeldwebel Maximowitz of 14./JG3, failed to return from a combat mission. He was probably killed in aerial combat with Russian fighters around Frankfurt am Oder. He told Feldwebel Oskar Bosch (18 victories, including 8 four-engine bombers) during this mission that he had an MP 40 submachine-gun in his cockpit and he was saving the last round for himself if he got shot down!

Willi Maximowitz was credited with 27 victories. He recorded 12 victories over the Eastern front. All 15 victories recorded over the Western front were four-engine bombers. He claimed one bomber by ramming on 23 March 1944 and possibly rammed another bomber, date unknown. Maximowitz was posthumously awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on 1 January 1945.

Wilhelm Moritz was born on 29 June 1913 at Hamburg-Altona. He joined the army in 1933 but transferred to the Luftwaffe and underwent pilot training. At the beginning of World War 2, Moritz was serving with II./ZG 1 flying the Bf 110 Zerstorer twin-engined fighter. He participated in the Polish campaign. In summer 1940, Moritz was transferred to II./JG77. He was assigned to 6./JG77. He served in Norway and western France with this unit. On 9 September, he was appointed Staffelkapitan of 6./JG77. Around the beginning of 1941, Moritz became Staffelkapitan of EinsatzStaffel/JFS 4. He commanded the unit until March 1942, although he probably saw no combat during this time. The unit was later integrated into 11./JG51. From 4 April until 10 September1942, Moritz served as Staffelkapitan of 11./JG1 based at Monchen-Gladbach. During this period he was promoted to Hauptmann. He claimed no victories while serving with this unit operating in the German Bight area and over Holland. Moritz was transferred to II./JG51 on 10 September 1942. From November 1942, he was Staffelkapitan of 12./JG51. With this unit he claimed around 25 victories on the Eastern Front. On 19 October 1943, Moritz was appointed Staffelkapitan of 6./JG3 based in Germany. The unit was tasked with Reichsverteidigung duties.

Moritz was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of IV./JG3 on 18 April 1944. The Gruppe specialised in anti-bomber operations flying heavily armoured and armed single-engined fighters and was referred to as IV.(Sturm)/JG3. On 8 May, he claimed two USAAF B-24 four-engined bombers Herausschusse to record his 36th and 37th victories and, on 13 May, two USAAF B-17 four-engined bombers (38-39). Moritz was awarded the Ritterkreuz for 41 victories on 18 July 1944. On 1 October, he was promoted to the rank of Major. On 2 November he claimed a B-17, his 44th and, probably, last victory. On 5 December, Moritz was relieved from command due to a complete nervous breakdown. Following his recuperation he was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of IV./EJG1 on 14 December 1944.

On 18 April 1945, Moritz was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG4, a position he held until the end of the war.
In over 500 combat missions Wilhelm Moritz was credited with 44 confirmed victories. He recorded 25 victories over the Western front, including 12 four-engined bombers. However, some sources quote his total to be as high as 54, including 25 four-engined bombers (including Herausschusse).

Hans Weik

Hans Weik was born on 6 July 1922 at Heilbronn in Wurttemberg. He joined the Luftwaffe in October 1941. Following completion of his flying training, Weik was posted to I./JG3 based on the Eastern front. On 21 February 1943, as a Leutnant, he joined the Geschwaderstab of JG3. His first victory was achieved on 9 March 1943 when he shot down a Russian Yak-1 fighter. He was to record 10 victories during his time in Russia, including two victories on 21 April to record his 10th and 11th victories. From May to November 1943, Weik served as fighter pilot instructor with 4./Erganzungs-Jagdgruppe Ost. However, his duties as an instructor did not preclude combat for on 6 September 1943, he downed his first four-engined bomber, a USAAF B-17. In November 1943, Weik was transfered to 9./JG3. On 10 February 1944, Oberleutnant Alfred Humer (21 victories), Staffelkapitan of 10./JG3, was killed in action and Weik was named his successor. He received the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on 10 May. Between February and July, Weik was to claim 23 victories, including 20 four-engined bombers, in only 85 combat missions. He recorded two four-engined bombers shot down on 8 March (20-21). He was to record two victories on four other occasions. Weik also recorded three victories on 24 April and 8 May. On 18 July, he destroyed a USAAF B-17 four-engined bomber, but he had to bale out of his damaged Fw 190A-8/R2 (W.Nr. 680 747) 'White 7' wounded in the shoulder and arm. The wounds were serious enough to keep Weik from any further front line duties. On 27 July, Oberleutnant Weik was awarded the Ritterkreuz for 36 victories. In April 1945, Weik was transferred to III./ EJG2 at Lechfeld to train on the Me 262 jet fighter. Post war, Weik studied architecture. He planned and built many schools, sports auditoriums and other buildings. In retirement, Weik indulged his passion for model shipbuilding. Weik died at the age of 78 on 5 June 2001 at Heidenheim an der Brenz.

Hans Weik was credited with 36 victories in only 85 missions. He recorded , 25 victories over the Western Front, including 22 four-engined bombers. He was one of the foremost Viermottoters.
