According
to archives and testimonies here is the list of the pilots
of the JG1 & JG11 involved in the fight of August 25, 1944
:
Hptm. Heinz Knoke III./JG1
Obgfr. Alfred Finking
11./JG1 U
Fw. Freidank 11./JG1.
Uffz. Ullrich Wagner 11./JG1
Uffz. Friedrich Ickes
11./JG1 U
Ofhr. Reissner 7./JG11 U
Ofw. Horst Schulze 8./JG11 U
Considering narrow relations between the
JG1 and the JG11 maybe
these pilots participated in this
same mission and fight where all the available planes were sent.
Horst Schulze fell 16km East of Saint
Quentin, sector where took place this air battle on August 25,
1944.
