JB741 Thanks for the response and sorry to hear about your uncle's demise at such an early age. The only photo I have of the entire crew is attached. From left to right is Kurt Felke (BS), Richard Delakowitz (FF) and Hans Beckmann (BF). Regards Jeremy -
Luftwaffe LW Flak book
spanferkel replied to Jan Arne S's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
As Paul noted it would be nice, if possible, to see the others pages in this book. Personally I have never seen one of these to any Flak units and would be curious if others have examples in there collections. Regards Jeremy -

Hmmm thanks for the additional info. Possible this claim was later overturned or simply unconfirmed. -

Claudius Yes most likely J series J1, J2 and later N series however this info. is unfortunately not part of the write up in Felkes Flugbuch. Though late in the war it shows him aboard Ju88's. As we discussed the next time we meet I can show you all these "goodies" in more detail. Cheers J -

The a/c flown by Felkes crew relative to the claims above are as follows: 1. Do217 3C+DR 2. Do217 3C+DR (oddly enough these abschuss are listed as occuring on 05.04.44) 3. Do217 3C+DR " 4. same as above 5. same as above 6. same as above 7. Me110 3C+BR Interesting as well that there is an additional abschuss listed on 01.09.43 while flying a Do217 coded 3G+IR Jeremy -

Flugbuch goes up to 12.04.45, total of 350 flights of which 69 were Feindefluge i.e. the Spange in Silver. Felke did serve with other pilots until the end of the war however no additional kills are listed. Felke served primarily with Delakowitz (barring a few alternate pilots) until 27.09.44 at which point he flew with Major Gogga sp? from 19.10.44 until 05.12.44 and finally with Lt. Springer or Sprenger from 14.01.44 until 12.04.45. Cheers Jeremy -

Hucks216 Thanks so much for your comments and in particular for the info. on his his. That was next on my "to do" list was compiling the info. on his kills. In addition to what I've shown I actually haveFelke's hard cover Flugbuch and his Leistungsbuch although the early kills only indicate the a/c as a 4 engine bomber. This is great! Thanks again.
