Hi All
Picked up a 1st Patt Luftwaffe Dagger maker Horster mint condition. On the blade is etched the name "Ernst Klopp". I have done some research and can trace him to the Jagdeschwader 27 Staffel 4 (North Africa) area fyling ME109s. He has confirmed kills on 11/11/42 when he shot down a Curtis P-40 S.E of Sollum in Eygpt. On 5/4/43 he shot down a P-38 W. of the island of Marettimo in the Med. I can find no further trace of him. Any suggestions on where to look next as to what happened to him and did he survive the war or not. Hope someone can help.
