WWII German Luftwaffe Soldbuch ID Grouping – Pilot NCO Gerhard Lippmann – Nachtjageschwarder 101 – FL Sonderkommando ObL – Pilot Badge

Description

Lippmann clearly wanted to bump his rank up by forging the promotions to Hauptmann, this included him removing his photo.

It is clear he did not get promoted to Officer Rank, I have checked the Officer Career Summaries and he is not listed as having been promoted to Officer.

Served with:

In 1943 till early 1944

I – Nachtjagdgeschwader 101

10 / Nachtjagdgeschwader 5 

Then in April 1944 with:

I /Jagdgeschwader 302 

FL Sonderkommando Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe (LP)  – Based at Dedelsdorf airfield was likely a flight testing facility.  

By 1945 Lippmann was sent to Flak Abteilung 1003, and later Flak Regiment 255 

Captured and interned in POW Camp in Bellaria June 1945.

Awards

It seems on page two he added more awards beside his fake promotions.

His real awards were, Hj-Leistungsabzeichen, Deutsch Segelflieger Abzeichen, Reichssportabzeichen, Pilots Badge (1943)

Died in March 2018
