**** this really sucks another chap who I interviewed at some length through letter. Dr.J. was quite a special kind man.

his claim to fame was Bördfunker to Martin "Tino" Becker through the wr years ending in StabIV./NJG 6 flying two different Ju 88G-6's. Ritterkreuz winner, shot down 3 BC heavies on a March 1945 eve with his single MG 131.

I have a few relatives left who served in the Wehrmacht. This makes me want to go and talk with them even more.

Unfortunately all of the people on my American side of the family who served in WW2 are all gone.
