Hello Guys,
One question:
In the picture of Der Adler , the name of pilot is SchmiTT, but the name that´s i have is SchmiDT. What is the correct ???
Thx in advance
Regards
Alexandre

the photo that Eagle has posted has his name in the English as dt says T. this is not unusual as I have seen last names appear in strange ways in the official Luftwaffe mag Der Adler

should be Heinz Schmidt who had 173 kills not 174 missing in action with 2 Soviet fighters in his Bf 109G-6 yellow 7 wrk nummer 15903. As he was a Leutnant he was posthumously given the rank of Hauptmann. Heinz had 700 missions to his credit

As Erich said the English or Americans typically remove the dt from Schmidt and make it Schmitt.
