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.

Our hosting service restricts database searches to a minimum of 4 characters, therefore searching on 3 or less will produce no results even if the name IS in our database. If you know the target's first name, put his full name in the first Search box in the form 'familyname, firstname' thus: Rau, Gunther.

If you only know his family name (for example Alt) then add 'x' to the name and search on that: thus search on Altx

If you need help, EMAIL us with name and database to search and we will perform the search manually for you.

1	Eisele, Herbert	Oblt	5/22/1920	Königsberg	1	3/A.Fl.Ausb.Regt 10 (10/39 Neukuhren), Stab III/SG-4 (9/44 Tukums, Latvia)	Fw 190F-8 Werk # Unk (lost 1/4/45)	Assault Operational Clasp	KIC 4 January, 1945; crashed at Gamsen, Krs. Gifhorn, cause unknown. He was initially buried in the Ger War Cem Ehren Friedhof Gifhorn. He was later transferred in 2011 to the cemetery at Kolleda, near his Father (Bundesarchiv documents via Olivier de Ipanema Moreira: see Important Documents Ref Herbert Eisele). Per LOCS, Version one for Oblt Eisele: "4 January, 1945 Unhurt? crashed near Delmenhorst"! The distance between Delmenhorst & Gamsen is 87.3 miles. Version two: KilledInAction (KIA) 24 December, 1944 in aerial combat with P-47s, 35 miles south of Bastogne. This must be attributed to a different Eisele. Added: One known victory, an Soviet Il-2 on the southern approaches to Riga. His Grp Kdr Weyert also claimed one (12 O'Clock High Forum via S.Youngs).
