'A FIGHTER PILOT'S BOLD FEAT' - SIEGFRIED LEMKE CLAIMS MARCH 19, 1944



 

During January 1944 I./JG 2 was hastily dispatched to the Mediterranean Front,
deployed to counter  15th USAAF bombing raids. Following the Allied landings at
Anzio Italy, the Gruppe was scrambled on 27 January over the Toulon-Hyeres
region in the south of France against an incoming fighter sweep by 52nd FG
Spitfires airborne from Calvi in northern Corsica. Four of these were claimed,
three of them by Fj-Ofw. Lemke, 1./JG 2 Staffelführer.

On 25 February 1944, I. and 4./JG 2 moved from the south of France to the banks
of Lake Trasimeno in northern Italy. Lemke distinguished himself during his
unit's short two month stay in northern Italy, being credited with eighteen
victories. He was awarded the Ehrenpokal in March 1944, the DKiG in April
followed by the Ritterkreuz in June.

On 19 March Lemke - by now with the rank of Leutnant - repeated his feat of 27
January. According to an article in an issue of Frontzeitung "Luftflotte Süd"
the date March 19, 1944 is an odyssey in itself in the career of the ace of
1./JG 2. His exploits - including the downing of three more 52nd FG Spitfires -
featured in a PK war correspondent's report. Lemke came down at sea, spent some
time in his dinghy, then elected to swim ashore - spending five or six hours in
the water - at least! En route he swam past his one of downed US opponents who
was in his dinghy. Lemke carried on swimming and reached the shore. He then
walked to the nearest fishing village and apparently passed out from fatigue,.
When he came to, he commandeered a boat, rowed back out to sea to rescue the US
aviator still in his dinghy.. (!!) 


A feat that borders on the miraculous and I'm guessing that  Shores and co. left
this episode out of their 'Mediterranean air war' account because there is
probably no way of verifying any of it..


Lemke was subsequently 'interviewed' by a war correspondent and this rare
personal account has been translated by Nick Beale - see link below.  " -
Leutnant Lemke tells how after three victories in one day, he was shot down over
the sea, swam ashore and still took an enemy pilot captive .."


Lemke's claims for March 19, 1944
 
34th claim
19.3.44/0750
Spitfire
5km W of Moltalto di Castro


35th and 36th claims
19.3.44/0953 and 1002
Spitfire
20km W of Tarquinia/20km W of Moltalto di Castro


Two Spitfires from 52nd FG lost this date, while a third was damaged: EF703/VF-Q
of Lt. Robert C Boyd, EE858/VF-E of Capt. Eugene C Steinbrenner and Lt. Charles
E DeVoe was WIA (damaged)


The full story of the deployment of I./JG 2 over Italy during early 1944 is told

STRANGE (POSTWAR) DEATHS OF THE ACES - ZWESKEN, ENGFER, TANZER, QUAST



 




As everyone knows Marseille died on 30 September 1942  'undefeated' after
bailing out of a new Gustav and failing to open his chute after (presumably)
striking the tailplane.  And we also recently highlighted the death of Gustav
Francsi who drowned trying to rescue his wife from the sea. 

Another (German) web site recently posted a report on another strange death of a
Luftwaffe ace -   former Ofw. ace of II./JG 300 Rudolf Zwesken, Zwesken
committed suicide on 26 February 1946. In a copy of Zwesken's farewell note
posted on jg300.de - apparently written by him but typed up by the Halle Kripo -
Zwesken states that his lover Isolde had died during the abortion of what would
have presumably been 'his' child. In his 'distress' he had therefore killed
himself by sticking his head in her gas oven. However his mistress did not die
so there is obviously more to this story. After all, under what circumstances
does a man commit suicide because his wife is pregnant? We can 'guess' but
prefer not to spell it out here - I'm sure you can work it out. 





Surely an even more 'bizarre' death though is that of  former 9./JG 3 ace
Siegfried Engfer. Engfer had passed 50 victories on 18 September 1942 during the
'drive' for Stalingrad to earn the Ritterkreuz, the same day as his close friend
in 8. Staffel Fw.Heinz Kemethmüller. After being seriously injured (Lungenschuß)
Engfer (seen left as an Oberleutnant) never returned to the front and survived
the war. In April 1946 he boarded a train in Vienna heading for Prague - but
never arrived. He presumably left -or jumped from- the train during the journey,
probably hoping to cross the 'border' undetected to locate his family in the
Eastern territories occupied by the Russians. He was never heard of again.
Report from the November 1965 issue of Jägerblatt.



As you know a number of aces flew post-war and rejoined the Bundesluftwaffe
during the 1950s -  Steinhoff, Hartmann, Obleser, Körner, Krupinski, Dahmer to
cite just a few. But Waldemar Radener (JG 26, 37 victories) was killed in a
training plane in southern Germany in January 1957, Kurt Tanzer (JG 51) crashed
in a T-33 fighter over the Balearic Islands in '60. 84-victory ace and former
4./JG 52 RK-holder Werner Quast perished in July 1962 in a helicopter accident -
at the time he was a Fluglehrer (instructor) with the Heeresfliegerwaffenschule
(army combat aviation - German equivalent of the Army Air Corps training
school). Heinz Bär died testing a light aircraft of course. Rudolf Rademacher
(JG 54, 97 victories) survived the war only to be killed in a glider crash at
Lüneburg on 13 June 1953. 


Numerous former aces died in road traffic accidents. Gerhard Michalski was
killed in 1946 in a car crash as was his fellow 'Pik As' Herbert Kaminski who
died on 16 July 1971 in a car accident in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Gerhard
Barkhorn died tragically from his injuries following a pile-up on the Cologne
motorway in 1983. His wife died at the scene. Theo Weissenberger, a 'speed
freak', killed himself in 1950 during a car race at the Nürburgring. And
finally, George Seckel -an ace in JG 77 who flew with Müncheberg in North Africa
and was later Staffelkapitän of 7./JG 77 with around 34 victory claims - bred
and exhibited poodles at dog shows postwar. As he was driving to display his
poodles at a show on 23 September 1972 he was hit by another vehicle on the
motorway and died at the scene. His wife survived her crash injuries, but
several of Seckel's dogs escaped the wreckage unhurt - only to be mown down by
passing vehicles.

JÄGERBLATT APRIL 1962 ISSUE - OBITUARY GUSTAV FRANCSI I./NJG 100



 














Cover of the April 1962 issue of Jägerblatt above - well-known image of He 219
A-016, WNr. 190066, RL+AF, serving with NJGr. 10 at Werneuchen during the summer
of 1944 engaged in radar trials. 


The April 1962 issue of  Jägerblatt featured an 'appreciation' of  'Nachtjagd'
Ost Experte Gustav Francsi. Francsi drowned on 6 October 1961 in the sea in
Spain after jumping in - fully clothed- to try and rescue his wife from an
undertow. Strange coincidence with Hans Forke's death (BF to Ludwig Meister) -
Forke also drowned during the 60s attempting a sea rescue  - in his case his
daughter and nephew. Francsi was born on 4 November 1914 in Gierswalde. Francsi
was awarded the RK in late October 1944 under Kommandeur Hptm. August Fischer in
I./NJG 100 and was the leading night fighter ace in the East with  around  50
night-time vics (55-60 'claims', the majority of which were not officially
'confirmed' - sources conflict as to his victory tally). According to Obermaier
he flew as a bomber pilot in Norway - this appears to be incorrect. Rather
Francsi served as a flight engineer (BM) with KG 40 before training as a pilot
during 1941.  His success on the Eastern Front  in NJG 100 - the only Nachtjagd
unit to be based permanently in the East - was a result of close collaboration
with the rail-mounted mobile radar units. At least  one source claims that
Francsi had moved to Kdo Bonow and flew the Arado Ar 234 during April 1945
although his last four claims with NJG 100 were on the nights of 17-18 April and
24-25 April..


"..another name is added to the long list of great fighter pilots [..] suddenly
taken from us in tragic accidents...[..] Gustav Francsi died as he had lived -
selfless, courageous and loyal. When the history of the German night fighter arm
is finally written, then the name of Gustav Francsi will certainly be at the
forefront..."




With the recent publication of the last but one volume of Theo Boiten's
'Nachtjagd Combat Archive' ('Eastern Front and Mediterranean', Wingleader - a
'must buy' for Luftwaffe enthusiasts) read the full story of Francsi's career in
I./NJG 100 on the Eastern Front.

"Heinkel He 219 - eine vergebene Chance" ( '..a missed opportunity') and Hans
Ring's comments on Walther Dahl's 'Rammjäger' ..

OBLT. BRUNO KOLTHOFF, STAB I./JG 77



 


Oblt. Bruno Kolthoff was a pilot in I./JG 77 born on Christmas day 1918 in the
town of Weener. In 1939 he was serving in a Flak unit before joining the flying
personnel. Trained at Brün (Brno) and Paris (Villacoublay?). His first victory
was a Spitfire, claimed on 14 October 1942 flying from Comiso with 1./JG 77 over
Malta according to a 'Herz As' claims list. Freytag and Brandt also claimed on
that day. By the end of the month I./JG 77 had shifted to Tunisia and at some
stage during November 1942 Kolthoff was posted to the Stab I./JG 77 before
joining 3./JG 77. Prior to this he had been shot down on November 2, the first
day of the British 'Supercharge' offensive (El Alamein) but was able to bail
out. 


2 November 1942: Bf 109 G-2/Trop (W.Nr. 10 480) of 1./JG 77 due to enemy fire
south of El Daba

In late 1943 he was sometime acting Staffelführer of 2./JG 77 and took over from
Oblt Köhler at the end of the year. Now with the rank of Oblt. and serving in
the Gruppenstab his next claim - a B-24 at 4,200 metres - was filed on 2 April
1944 over Italy during the interception of a 15th AF raid on Steyr (Austria). On
25 June 1944 he shot down a Spitfire into the sea off Rimini, claiming his
second over Italy. After reorganization during early October 1944, he was named
Adjutant of I./JG 77 having claimed a P-47 north of Liege on 11 September and a
second P-47 on September 28 according to a 'Herz As' claims list. He was shot
down just eight days later on October 6, 1944. Airborne in the early afternoon
from Babenhausen for a fighter sweep over the Volkel area, Kolthoff was
intercepted and shot down by Spitfires near Zand (close to Arnhem) at the
controls of his Bf 109 G-14 ('black chevron'  WNr. 460429). The 25-year old did
not survive and rests today at Ysselsteyn cemetery in Limburg; grave AD-5-125.
He had been officially credited with four victories.

possibly a 2. Staffel machine 'black 8'. Note the heavy overspray ahead of the
aircraft Kennung where a previous emblem might have appeared....

ERLA PRODUCTION 'SAW-TOOTH' WING CAMOUFLAGE PATTERN



 



First completion of 2023, another of the 'old' new-tool Eduard Bf 109s, this
time in the markings of 11./JG 27 ace Bartels. IV./JG 27 were at Kalamaki,
Greece in the autumn of 1943 and intervened over Kos and Leros during October as
German forces pushed out the British from these Dodecanese islands following the
Italian 'change-of-sides'. J-L Roba recently produced a comprehensive monograph
on these combats published by Lela Presse and reviewed on this blog.

Note alongside the finished model my 72nd Academy G-6 in the 'same' scheme. As
usual the mottling is a pretty rough 'approximation' given that the real machine
is only 'partially' covered photographically. As SAM editor Gary Hatcher
remarked a while ago, how can Luftwaffe modellers be satisfied knowing that
their mottling is always so 'hit and miss'? I suppose he may have a point - all
of the known images of this machine show the port side. Not one shows the
starboard side AFAIK. A feature of some Erla-Leipzig 1943 production, the upper
surface 'saw-tooth' pattern was less problematic and 're-created' here easily
enough with a P-Mask mask. The underwing 'R6' MG 151 cannon gondola have been
opened up to display the Eduard resin cannon...I asked profile artist Anders
Hjortsberg to comment on the 'saw-tooth' finish;

" ....In mid 1943 an Erla built 109 would certainly have the sawtooth pattern.
I'm not sure when it was first applied but I think I've seen Friedrichs with it
as well. It was used well into 1944. As to why, I don't know, there's no
official document showing anything about it. The document that laid down the
rules for the pattern used by WNF and Erla did mention a 10 cm transition
between colours in the pattern though. WNF used what I believe was the intended
effect, i.e a blurred demarcation that comes naturally when painting free hand
with a spray gun. Erla wanted to use some sort of template for the pattern and
so they cut a saw tooth template to fulfill the order of a 10 cm transition.
That's just my theory though, there's no confirming this. Looking at the crude
"Spotted mottle" on Erla aircraft is another hint that they didn't want to work
as much free hand as WNF and Mtt Regensburg. It was only in the 46x.xxx series
that a softer mottle started to appear and the wing pattern got changed as well,
more conforming to the WNF style although an interim pattern can be seen where
there's a free hand pattern painted clumsily to resemble the saw tooth
pattern..."

BF 109 F-2 CODED 'D-IWAU'



" ..Hi Neil,

..something and nothing really. We came across this "lost" photo when my wife's
grandmother passed away. The airman on the extreme right is Joe, a friend of the
family, taken in Germany in mid 1945. Joe met and married a Jewish girl who had
been in a concentration camp and they eventually emigrated to Canada. I had the
pleasure of meeting them when they visited in the 1980's.We found the image
again yesterday in a poorer state than it was so I repaired it. I found it odd
to see as late as 1945 what I would say were pre-war style 'civilian' markings
on the aircraft, I'm guessing a Bf 109? Anyway hope it is of interest....

Regards Steve..."





From Peter Achs; " ..This was the V35, W-Nr. 9227 used in 1941/42 as a testbed
for a DB 605 (W-Nr. 76076) with intercooler by Daimler-Benz at Echterdingen.
take over: 16 Aug(?) 1941 from Mtt Regensburg by railway ("16. IIX. 41" in the
original document) delivered: 22 Oct 1942 to the DVL at Braunschweig.."
