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.

EK 2, Wound Badge in Silver		WIA 26 June, 1942, from bomb splinters after his airfield came under attack by British Bostons and fighter bombers (2nd account). His acct to his Grandson (Marc): Before landing, he came under fire from the British during the aerial combat with his one victory. During this combat, several bullets struck the plane, one of which hit his leg. At first, it wasn't too serious, but oil leaked from the damaged plane, and flowed into the wound, resulting in blood poisoning and contamination of the wound (Marc Fricke). One known victory, a Hurricane II southwest of Mersa Matruh on 26 June, 1942. Added: Ofw Fricke lost his leg "due to his wounds". In addition to his awards for valor, he was awarded 4 place ribbon bar w/4 Yr Serv, African Camp, Sudetenland Medal, EK 2 ribbon, "AFRIKA" cuffband, Marksman Lanyard & Reich Sports Proficiency Badge. While serving in AGO Flugzeugwerke, he was reported to be the first pilot to test the Me 262 produced there (Marc Fricke, Grandson, 4/2026).
