more tidbits and did you know he was a Hauptmann when he got the Oakleaves, a Major with the Swords and an Oberst when he received the Diamonds.....

also did you know on the night of June 15/16 1944 when he claimed 3 Lancasters in 7 minutes he only used 57 rounds ? His 102nd Abschüße was on the night of July 28/29 1944 and was the first nachtjäger to be presented the Brilliants to his Eichenlaub.
