hucks216 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Have you managed to look in the KG-26 history? I don't have it I'm afraid but maybe he is shown in there although as he was only with KG-26 for around a year it might be a long shot. He certainly seems to of been transferred a lot!

derek hicks Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 FANTASTIC! Thanks very much for that. I've tried so many avenues to obtain a photo. Even his fellow pilots of KG26 (Reimer Voss, Werner Morath who I met) were unable to help. I've tried Red Cross Geneva, Germany, USA to no avail. The hunt goes on! Once again your help much appreciated. I'm mainly into U-boats Wehrpass' now having about 4 in my collection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
