Английская Википедия:Hermann Staiger

Hermann Staiger (6 April 1915 – 22 June 1964) was a Luftwaffe ace and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. For the fighter-pilots it was a quantifiable measure of their skill and success. Staiger was credited with 63 aerial victories during World War II, 49 on the Western Front and 14 on the Eastern Front.

Early life and career

Staiger was born on 6 April 1915 in Tennenbronn in the Grand Duchy of Baden as part of the German Empire.Шаблон:Sfn He joined the Luftwaffe in 1935 as an officer candidate. Following his flight training,Шаблон:Refn by September 1939 he was a Leutnant flying with 1. Staffel (1st squadron) of Jagdgeschwader 20 (JG 20—20th Fighter Wing).Шаблон:Sfn This was a wing in name only, being just a single Gruppe (Fighter Group) that had been set up just prior to the outbreak of war, in July 1939. His commanding officer was the Condor Legion veteran Walter Oesau.Шаблон:Sfn

World War II

For the Polish campaign his unit was based at Sprottau, to protect the Silesian industrial area from Polish bombers. On 6 November, the Gruppe was moved to Döberitz where it remained until 21 February 1940. That day, I./JG 20 was ordered to Bönninghardt and placed under the control of the Stab of Jagdgeschwader 51 (JG 51—51st Fighter Wing). There, the Gruppe patrolled Germany's western border during the "Phoney War" period of World War II.Шаблон:Sfn

The attack on France in May 1940 was very quiet for JG 51 and I./JG 20 as they quickly cleared the skies over the Low Countries. On 29 May, following the German advance, I. Gruppe moved to Sint-Denijs-Westrem Airfield near Ghent in Belgium. Operating from Sint-Denijs on 31 May, the Gruppe engaged in aerial combat during the Battle of Dunkirk and claimed twelve aerial victories for the loss of two pilots killed in action. That day, Staiger claimed his first aerial victory, a Royal Air Force (RAF) Supermarine Spitfire fighter shot down northwest of Dunkirk, his only claim during the Battle of France.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Following the Armistice of 22 June 1940, I. Gruppe of JG 20 was officially integrated into JG 51, becoming its III. Gruppe on 4 July. In consequence, Staiger became a member of the 7. Staffel.Шаблон:Sfn Staiger was reasonably successful in the ensuing Battle of Britain shooting down a further seven aircraft.

Squadron leader

On 24 August 1940, Oesau was given command of III. Gruppe of JG 51, replacing Hauptmann Hannes Trautloft in this capacity. In consequence, Staiger was given command of 7. Staffel as Staffelkapitän (squadron leader).Шаблон:Sfn

After the invasion was postponed (indefinitely) JG 51 was withdrawn to winter quarters back in the Reich. It would return to the Channel Front for a time in early 1941 although now nominally on the defensive. Staiger still managed to pick up three further victories before the units were sent to the east for the upcoming invasion of the Soviet Union.

Eastern Front

On the opening day of the Operation Barbarossa he shot down three SB-2 bombers. JG 51 was leading the charge eastward racking up a huge number of victories. On 30 June, when JG 51 became the first Geschwader to claim 1000 victories.Шаблон:Sfn Staiger shot down a further four bombers in the first great encirclement battle, over Minsk. On 14 July, he was seriously injured when his Bf 109 F-2 (Werknummer 8083—factory number) was hit by Soviet anti-aircraft fire and shot down near Stara Bychow, approximately Шаблон:Convert south of Mogilev on the Dnieper. In consequence, command of 7. Staffel passed to Oberleutnant Herbert Wehnelt.Шаблон:Sfn

While Staiger was recovering in hospital, he and another pilot of JG 51 were awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (Шаблон:Lang) on 16 July, Staiger for 25 aerial victories, and Oberleutnant Hans Kolbow from 5. Staffel posthumously after 27 aerial victories.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn After an extended period of convalescence he served in a number of pilot-training units for the next two years, and was promoted to Hauptmann (Captain) on 1 February 1943. Staiger briefly returned to JG 51 on the Eastern Front where he claimed a Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3 fighter shot down while flying with 9. Staffel.Шаблон:Sfn On 5 July, Staiger was transferred to the Western Front where he was appointed Staffelkapitän of 12. Staffel of Jagdgeschwader 26 "Schlageter" (JG 26—26th Fighter Wing), replacing Oberleutnant Erwin Leykauf who was transferred. The Staffel was subordinated to III. Gruppe of JG 26 commanded by Hauptmann Klaus Mietusch and based at Cuxhaven-Nordholz Airfield.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

Defense of the Reich

Staiger claimed his first aerial victory in defense of the Reich on 17 July. That day, the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) VIII Bomber Command sent 332 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers to targets in the Netherlands and northern Germany. III. Gruppe of JG 26 intercepted the bombers over the North Sea. In this encounter, Staiger claimed a B-17 from the 351st Bombardment Group shot down.Шаблон:Sfn On 25 July, as part of Operation Gomorrah, a series of attacks on Hamburg in the last week of July 1943, approximately 100 B-17 bombers of the USAAF VIII Bomber Command bombed Hamburg and vicinity. II. Gruppe intercepted the lead bombers as they approached the Elbe estuary and claimed three B-17 bombers shot down, including one by Staiger.Шаблон:Sfn The next day during Blitz Week, the USAAF attacked synthetic rubber factories in Hannover and U-boat shipbuilding facilities in Hamburg. III. Gruppe again intercepted the USAAF bombers off the German coast where Staiger claimed a B-17F over the Weser estuary.Шаблон:Sfn On 29 July, the USAAF targeted Kiel and Warnemünde. III. Gruppe intercepted the bombers near Heligoland and kept attacking the bombers on their approach to Kiel. The Gruppe claimed four B-17 bombers of the 306th Bombardment Group shot down, including two by Staiger, one of which was not confirmed.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

III. Gruppe transferred from Cuxhaven-Nordholz to Amsterdam-Schiphol Airfield on 13 August.Шаблон:Sfn The USAAF targeted the German aircraft industry on 17 August in the Schweinfurt–Regensburg mission. That day, Staiger shot down a B-17 bomber west of Pesch, northwest of Aachen.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn On 8 September, III. Gruppe moved to an airfield at Lille-Vendeville in France.Шаблон:Sfn On 3 October, the RAF attacked the Beauvais–Tillé Airfield. Defending against the attack, Staiger claimed a Spitfire shot down near Beauvais. His opponent may have been Flight Lieutenant Raymond Hesselyn from No. 222 Squadron who was shot down and captured that day.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Refn On 10 October, VIII Bomber Command attacked Münster in northern Germany. III. Gruppe reached the USAAF bombers just after they started heading for England. Staiger and Unteroffizier Hans Oeckel both claimed a B-17 shot down but both pilots were wounded by the defensive gun fire of the bombers. Staiger, who crash landed his Bf 109 G-6 (Werknummer 15920) near Dorsten,Шаблон:Sfn sustained further injuries in his landing.Шаблон:Sfn On 22 October, III. Gruppe moved to Bönninghardt for a period of rest from operational flying. Here on 29 October, Staiger was presented the German Cross in Gold (Шаблон:Lang) after 34 aerial victories.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Refn

An attack by the USAAF on Gelsenkirchen and Münster on 5 November forced III. Gruppe into action again. The Gruppe intercepted the B-17 bombers of the 3rd Bombardment Division but was then dispersed by escorting fighters of the 353rd Fighter Group preventing a consolidated attack on the bombers. In this encounter, Staiger claimed a B-17 bomber shot down probably belonging to 388th Bombardment Group (Heavy). On 13 November, the Gruppe relocated to an airfield at Mönchengladbach.Шаблон:Sfn On 9 January 1944, III. Gruppe returned to France with Gruppenstab (headquarters unit), 9. and 11. Staffel at Lille-Vendeville, and 10. and 12. Staffel at Denain.Шаблон:Sfn On 21 January, the USAAF Ninth Air Force attacked several V-1 flying bomb launch sites. Defending against this attack, Staiger claimed two Spitfire fighters, but these claims were not filed.Шаблон:Sfn Three days later, the USAA planned on attacking Frankfurt am Main which failed to reach its objective. III. Gruppe engaged in combat with escorting Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighters southwest of Brussels. In this aerial combat, Staiger claimed the destruction of a 78th Fighter Group P-47.Шаблон:Sfn

On 20 February, the Eighth Army Air Force, formerly known as VIII Bomber Command, launched Operation Argument, also known as "Big Week", a series of attacks on the German aircraft industry. Defending against this operation, Staiger shot down a P-47 fighter of the 353rd Fighter Group near Mönchengladbach, this was his 39th aerial victory claim to date.Шаблон:Sfn On 24 February, the Eighth Army Air Force targeted Schweinfurt, Gotha and Rostock. II. and III. Gruppe of JG 26 intercepted the bombers without their fighter escorts and attacked them head-on. Five B-17 bombers of the 40th Bombardment Wing were shot down, three from the 92nd and two from the 306th Bombardment Group, including one by Staiger south of Quakenbrück.Шаблон:Sfn The next day, the USAAF continued Operation Argument by attacking Augsburg, Stuttgart, Fürth and Regensburg. III. Gruppe again intercepted bombers of the 40th Bombardment Wing near Saarbrücken. That day, Staiger was credited with shooting down a B-17 bomber near Birkweiler close Sedan.Шаблон:Sfn On 8 March, Staiger claimed two aerial aerial victories. That day, the Eighth Air Force targeted the ball bearings works at Erkner near Berlin. III. Gruppe intercepted the bombers on their target approach between Steinhuder Meer and Braunschweig. Due to the defending escort fighters, the attack on the bombers was flown from the rear with only a few Bf 109 fighters. The 45th Combat Bombardment Wing lost eight B-17s between Steinhuder Meer and Braunschweig, including a B-17 from the 388th Bombardment Group (Heavy) shot down by Staiger north of Hannover. Staiger, and some other Luftwaffe fighters, continued to pursue the bombers to Berlin where Staiger claimed his second B-17 near Potsdam which was not confirmed. On this mission, the commanding officer of III. Gruppe, Mietusch, was shot down and injured. During Mietusch's convalescence, Staiger, in addition to his command of 12. Staffel, was temporarily given command of III. Gruppe.Шаблон:Sfn

The Eighth Army Air Force again targeted the German aircraft industry on 16 March. The bombers were intercepted near Saint-Dizier. However, the escorting fighters of the 56th Fighter Group attacked the Luftwaffe fighters just as they were forming up for a head-on attack on the bombers. The JG 26 fighters were scattered, denying a consolidated attack on the bombers. Staiger however managed to shoot down an aborting Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber from the 445th Bombardment Group.Шаблон:Sfn Two days later, the Eighth Army Air Force continued the attack on the German aircraft industry and Staiger claimed a B-17 bomber shot down over Colmar. On 27 March, the USAAF bombed Luftwaffe airfields in France. In their defense, Staiger led an attack on a squadron of P-47 fighters from the 359th Fighter Group and shot one of them down northeast of Chartres.Шаблон:Sfn On 13 April, III. Gruppe operated from Étain Airfield, located approximately Шаблон:Convert east of Verdun, Staiger shot down a B-17 northwest of Kaiserslautern and a 364th Fighter Group Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter near Bitburg; the American pilots' remains were found in 1996.Шаблон:Sfn Defending against an attack on southern Germany, Staiger claimed his 50th aerial victory when he shot down a Fifteenth Air Force B-17 bomber near Wiener Neustadt. The B-17 belonged to either the 97th or the 483rd Bombardment Group.Шаблон:Sfn While leading III. Gruppe on 24 April, Staiger claimed five aerial victories, potentially making him an ace-in-a-day when the Eighth Army Air Force attacked Luftwaffe targets at Munich, Oberpfaffenhofen and Friedrichshafen. Staiger's Bf 109 was equipped with the MK 108 cannon, firing Шаблон:Convert mine and high-explosive incendiary shells through the propeller hub. He claimed three B-17 bombers shot down near Donauwörth, one of which was not confirmed, and two Herausschüsse (separation shots) near Munich. A Herausschuss (separation shot) denoted a severely damaged heavy bomber which was forced to separate from its combat box and was counted as an aerial victory.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn

Group commander

On 15 May 1944, Staiger was transferred and appointed Gruppenkommandeur (group commander) of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190-equipped I. Gruppe of JG 26, replacing Major Karl Borris. Command of his 12. Staffel was passed to Oberleutnant Karl-Hermann Schrader.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn On 6 June, the Allies launched Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy. In consequence, I. Gruppe relocated to Cormeilles Airfield. The following day, Staiger claimed two 362d Fighter Group P-47 fighters shot down near Lisieux.Шаблон:Sfn On 15 June, the Eighth Army Air Force attacked tactical targets in support of the invasion. In defense of this attack, Staiger claimed a Herausschuss over a B-17 bomber near Chartres which was not confirmed.Шаблон:Sfn On 20 June, Staiger claimed a 370th Fighter Group P-38 near Château-Thierry, northeast of Meaux.Шаблон:Sfn Three days later on 23 June, Staiger was credited with shooting down a Spitfire fighter west of Rouen, northeast of Bayeux.Шаблон:Sfn On 25 June, Staiger claimed another 370th Fighter Group P-38 near Rouen in combat over on the eastern area of the invasion front.Шаблон:Sfn On 14 July, Major Borris' returned to JG 26,Шаблон:Sfn taking over command of the Gruppe on 1 August.Шаблон:Sfn In consequence, Staiger was transferred to take command of II. Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 1 "Oesau" (JG 1—1st Fighter Wing). He replaced Oberleutnant Rüdiger Kirchmayr who had temporarily led the Gruppe.Шаблон:Sfn

At the time of Staiger's posting to JG 1, II. Gruppe was based at Lonrai.Шаблон:Sfn On 10 August, during the German failed counter-attack named Operation Lüttich, Staiger claimed a Spitfire fighter shot down near Granville/Avranches. The next day, II. Gruppe retreated further east to an airfield at Connantre.Шаблон:Sfn By mid-August, the overall situation for II. Gruppe had deteriorated to the point that the Gruppe had to be withdrawn from combat operations on 16 August and relocated to Reinsehlen Airfield in Germany for a period of rest and replenishment.Шаблон:Sfn At Reinsehlen, the Gruppe was assigned new pilots, predominately directly coming from the Hitler Youth, no older than 18 to 20 years and lacking any combat experience. The Gruppe also received factory new Fw 190 A-8 aircraft.Шаблон:Sfn In early November, II. Gruppe relocated to Tutow, approximately Шаблон:Convert north of Neubrandenburg, where Staiger continued to train his new pilots which was impacted by lack of fuel. Combat readiness was reached in mid-November.Шаблон:Sfn On 26 November, the Eighth Army Air Force targeted the Leuna works near Merseburg. Defending against this attack, Staiger claimed a B-17 bomber shot down.Шаблон:Sfn

In support of Operation Wacht am Rhein, also known as the Battle of the Bulge, II. Gruppe moved to an airfield at Drope, located approximately Шаблон:Convert east-northeast of Lingen, on 17 December.Шаблон:Sfn On 24 December, the Eighth Army Air Force launched its largest attack of the war, sending more than 2,000 heavy bombers against numerous Luftwaffe airfields. Defending against this attack, Staiger claimed one of the bombers shot down, his second while flying the Fw 190 in combat.Шаблон:Sfn Two days later, Staiger led his Gruppe on a mission during the Siege of Bastogne. That day, II. Gruppe lost eight pilots either killed in action or missing in action. Staiger's Fw 190 was also severely damaged, resulting in an emergency landing near Frankfurt. Although, he officially remained in command of II. Gruppe he never returned to his unit and was replaced by Oberleutnant Fritz Wegener.Шаблон:Sfn In consequence, Staiger was not involved in Operation Bodenplatte, the failed operation to gain air superiority during the stagnant stage of the Battle of the Bulge, but was transferred to III. Gruppe of Ergänzungs-Jagdgeschwader 2 (EJG 2—2nd Supplementary Fighter Wing) for conversion training to the then new Messerschmitt Me 262 jet aircraft.Шаблон:Sfn

On 12 January 1945, the General der Jagdflieger (General of Fighters) ordered the creation of II. Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 7 "Nowotny" (JG 7—7th Fighter Wing).Шаблон:Sfn JG 7 "Nowotny" was the first operational jet fighter wing in the world and was named after Walter Nowotny, who was killed in action on 8 November 1944. Nowotny, a fighter pilot credited with 258 aerial victories and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds (Шаблон:Lang), had been assessing the Me 262 under operational conditions.Шаблон:Sfn The Gruppe was formed from remnants of IV. Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 54 (JG 54—54th Fighter Wing) and placed under the command of Staiger. Retraining its pilots began in late February at Lechfeld Airfield. The first pilots completed conversion training in early April and transferred to Brandenburg-Briest.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn But with very limited aircraft (and, more particularly, engines) available for the other Gruppen, let alone his, it struggled to get operational. Its first ten aircraft, along with a pair of two-seater trainers, were delivered a week later to allow training to commence. By then Staiger had passed command of II. Gruppe of JG 7 over to Hauptmann Lutz-Wilhelm Burckhardt.Шаблон:Sfn

Later life

Staiger died in Freiburg im Breisgau on 22 June 1964.Шаблон:Sfn

Summary of career

Aerial victory claims

According to Spick, Staiger was credited with 63 aerial victories claimed in over 400 combat missions, including 26 heavy bombers.Шаблон:Sfn Forsyth also lists him with 26 heavy bombers shot down.Шаблон:Sfn According to Weal, Staiger, together with Oberleutnant Hugo Frey, was the most successful fighter pilot against the heavy bombers while flying the Bf 109.Шаблон:Sfn Mathews and Foreman, authors of Luftwaffe Aces — Biographies and Victory Claims, researched the German Federal Archives and found documentation for 55 aerial victory claims, plus eleven further unconfirmed claims. This number includes 14 claims on the Eastern Front and 41 over the Western Allies, including 19 four-engined bombers.Шаблон:Sfn

Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = Planquadrat), for example "PQ 35 Ost 63613". The Luftwaffe grid map (Шаблон:Lang) covered all of Europe, western Russia and North Africa and was composed of rectangles measuring 15 minutes of latitude by 30 minutes of longitude, an area of about Шаблон:Convert. These sectors were then subdivided into 36 smaller units to give a location area Шаблон:Convert in size.Шаблон:Sfn
