Tom Kracker
12 archive reports
The Kracker Luftwaffe Archive on this site describes all known Axis Powers pilots and crew 1939 - 1945 and was compiled from extensive personal research over 30 years, initially by Tom Kracker, and more recently with the participation of Dave Drury and Christian König and editors from Aircrew Remembered. Born in 1937, Tom was a youngster during WWII, with relatives fighting on both sides of the conflict. He became interested in collecting the shoulder insignia of our Armed Forces. This interest expanded into collecting both Allied and Axis items. After three years in the Marines, he worked as an Engineer at General Motors, retiring in 1994. From 1980 to 1994, he displayed his collection under the sponsorship of the Ex-American POW Association. After retirement, he decided to shift gears from collecting to researching. In the process, he had accumulated reams of information about Luftwaffe pilots, and decided to compile this data in a format that other researchers might use. When Aircrw Remembered first went online with Tom's original data, we had records of over 12,000 Luftwaffe pilots of all types, fighters, bombers, transport, etc. By early 2014 this number exceeds 30,000, and grows daily.
