- Omschrijving: krupinski entered the luftwaffe in september 1939 as an ensign. From november 1939 to october 1940, krupinski entered basic air training and, after being assigned as a fighter pilot, the fighter school. After his training krupinski was sent to join his new unit jagdgeschwader 52, where he was placed in 6.staffel in november 1940. He flew combat missions over england, but did not gain any successes. Krupinski won his first aerial victory in the early stages of the russian campaign. By december 1941 his tally stood at seven confirmed victories and by august 1942 at 50, for which he was awarded the german cross in gold. After another six victories krupinski was awarded the knights cross of the iron cross. In march 1943, krupinski was promoted to staffelkapitän (squadron leader) and was given command of 7. Staffel. At this time erich hartmann, who went on to become the highest scoring ace of the war, served as his wingman. Hartmann adopted krupinkis close-quarters method of attack. Krupinski was awarded the oak leaves for his knights cross for his 174th victory. After achieving 177 victories, krupinski was transferred from the russian front to germany, where he was assigned to 1.staffel of jagdgeschwader 5. Promoted to the rank of hauptmann (captain) in may 1944, krupinski was made commander of ii.gruppe of jagdgeschwader 11. After the allied invasion of france in june 1944, the gruppe was rushed to normandy to operate on low-level army support missions. Krupinski claimed 10 allied aircraft shot down before he was wounded and burned on 12 august. By september he was transferred as commanding officer of iii.gruppe, jagdgeschwader 26. In march 1945, krupinski was transferred to the aces unit jagdverband 44, which flew the me 262 jet, claiming his last two aerial victories of the war on 16 and 26 april 1945. At 3:00 pm on 24 april 1945, krupinski was one of four pilots to take off from munich-riem to intercept a united states army air forces (usaaf) b-26 marauder aircraft formation. Günther lützow, who failed to return from this mission, led the flight of four. Lützows fate remains unknown to this date. One of the other two pilots was leutnant klaus neumann. After having claimed 197 enemy planes (177 eastern front, 20 against the western allies, in about 1100 missions), krupinski went into american captivity on may 5, 1945. Krupinski had bailed out four times and had been wounded five times. - Ook leverbaar uit deze luftwaffe biografie serie (zelfde uitv, prijs en vz kn): - wolfgang falck / kommodore nacht jagd geschwader 1- falkenjahre - martin drewes - sand und feuer - paul zorner - nächte im bomberstrom - werner mölders - die biografie - gunther rall - mein flugbuch - walter krupinski - biografie - c.e.bud anderson (usaaf) - zum fliegen und kämpfen verzending - boeken worden goed verpakt, verzending geschiedt voor uw rekening en risico!!
