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.

Night Fighter Operational Clasp		His G-1 sd by own flak at Wiers 19 October, 1944. He, and his R/O Uffz Herbert Anders (added: 14/12/17 in Bad Lausick, CKönig) bailed safely w/o injury. His Gnr Uffz Reinhold Leuze bailed with wounds (added: 05/11/23 in Ersingen, CK) (Lost Aircraft Report). One known victory, a "4 mot" at St Dizier on 19 July, 1944. Added: Uffz. Leuze was paralyzed on his left side by flak splinters in his back. The Radop placed the seriously injured man over the exit flap with his life jacket on, the life jacket valve open and his arms folded so that the draft of the free fall would pull his hands to the side and the parachute would have to open. Unfortunately, during this work, the radio operator's parachute opened while he was still in the plane. But he was lucky, stuffed the parachute together with both hands and was able to leave the plane safely. Hanging on the parachute, he shot a signal with the flare gun that had been agreed upon with Hptm Berger, so that he too, knowing his crew was safe, was the last to leave the machine. Leuze and Anders survived the war (CK)
