There is a rogue group of copyright infringers who have stolen a much earlier version of my data - from at least 10 years ago - and have the affrontery to publish that, along with using my name, on their poorly researched website. They claim this is the 'original' Kracker Archive, a ridiculous claim since my Archive has been in a state of continuous development for over 30 years and nobody - NOBODY - has the original. They have no right to use my name or my data and readers who come across this nonsense should do nothing to encourage theft of this nature. I am outraged by this blatant theft and misrepresentation of my lifetime's work. The ONLY person I have ever authorized to publish my data and use my name is Kelvin Youngs, who earned my trust and respect many years ago and is authorized by me to publish my work on whichever website he organizes, currently this being its present home at the highly respected Aircrew Remembered.

The pilot’s father was a General implicated in the 1944 bomb plot. The General’s aide de camp supplied the explosive to the plotters. The General was arrested and tried and finally disposing of any need for clear proof he was executed in early 1945. The pilot’s brother died on the Russian front. The Von Ziehlbergs are to be remembered. (source: post at aircrashsites)

Remaining crew (all listed as MIA, including Hennemann): Uffz Herbert Gabriel, Observer; Uffz Johann Zopes, R/O and Ogefr Arthur Scholz, Gunner. Source: SIG Norway. Added: The following press article (dated 12/09/42) describes why Hennemann was awarded the Knight’s Cross post-mortem: “The Führer has awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross to Leutnant Hennemann, pilot in a Kampfgeschwader. As previously mentioned in the Wehrmachtbericht of the 08.07.1942, he did not return from his last mission against an American convoy in the Arctic Ocean. Leutnant Konrad Heinemann, born in Dresden on the 01.03.1920, achieved major successes as a bomber pilot. He carried out numerous attacks against port facilities as well as Flak/searchlight positions on the eastern coast of England. However, he particularly distinguished himself during operations against enemy warships and merchant shipping in the northern North Sea near the Faroe islands and the Norwegian coast. Despite the strongest resistance from ship-borne AA and barrage balloons, he succeeded in sinking 7 enemy merchant ships and 2 destroyers (totalling 35000 GRT) in a short time period. His most significant action was the sinking of an American heavy cruiser that was escorting a major convoy in the Arctic ocean, a convoy that was eliminated by the Luftwaffe and U-Boats.” (CKönig).

(Added by Pietrzak Youngs)
Oberleutnant Richard Anders (January 3, 1915 - September 9, 1993) had participated in the invasion of Poland in 1939 with the Aufklärungsgruppe 21 when his reconnaissance plane was shot down by an enemy hunter plane which left him and Hauptmann wounded. Anders then changed units to Ergänzungs-Aufklärungsgruppe (6 August 1942) and Aufklärungsgruppe 12 (1 September 1942). He was awarded the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 27 July 1944 as Oberleutnant and Flugzeugführer at 11. Staffel (H) / Nahaufklärungsgruppe 12 / Fliegerführer Kroatien / Luftwaffenkommando Südost after completing many reconnaissance missions and directing artillery fire. At the end of the war Anders joined Staff 8. Flak-Division. In total he has completed 370 feindflug (combat missions), most of which take place on the Eastern Front. Other medals and awards he received: Flugzeugführerabzeichen; Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (November 26, 1939) and in Silber (January 21, 1944); Dienstauszeichnung der Wehrmacht IV. Klasse (1939); Eisernes Kreuz II. Class (December 13, 1939) and I. Classe (July 25, 1940); Frontflugspange für Auklärer in Bronze (21 April 1941), in Silber (22 February 1942), in Gold (30 November 1942) and mit Anhänger (19 July 1943); Luftwaffe Ehrenpokale für Besondere Leistungen im Luftkrieg (10 August 1942); Medaille Winterschlacht im Osten 1942/42 (December 31, 1942); and the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold (April 12, 1943). He also got one foreign medal namely the Ehrenzeichen der Slowakisches Schnellen Division XLII (Slovakien Honor award for service against the Soviet Union) which he got on 23 May 1942. What was unusual about Richard Anders's Oberleutnant photo was the absence of the Luftwaffe eagle logo on his hat! Post-war photos taken?

Medaille "Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42" (Ostmedaille)		KilledInAction (KIA) 10 June, 1944 at Winniza.
(Added by Pietrzak Youngs)
Leutnant Horst Baldauf (May 24, 1920 - June 10, 1944) was one of the best reconnaissance pilots owned by Aufklärungsgruppe 22. The aircraft that he usually piloted were Dornier Do 17 P & F and Heinkel He 111H. He was lost on duty in Vinnitsa, Ukraine, on June 10, 1944. Until this moment his fate was not known with certainty, but most likely his plane had been shot down by Soviet aircraft. For his dedication Baldauf was awarded the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes posthumously on August 8, 1944 as Leutnant and Beobachter in 2. (Fern) Staffel / Aufklärungsgruppe 22 / Luftwaffen-Kommando Don. At that time the unit (Aufklärungsgruppe 22) was dissolved!

Schopf went out at 900 feet and broke his neck landing, but survived. Schakat was less fortunate, his chute tangled on the AC, and he was dragged to his death as the AC crashed. Müller intended to jump, but his chute opened before he could evacuate the plane, so he opted to make the force landing himself, and did so, coming down in a field within yards of the farmhouse of Walter Kirkwood. His injuries from the landing caused him to remain in the hospital for five months.
