Franz Eckerle was born on 24 April 1912 at Baden-Baden. He learned to fly gliders and engine-powered aircraft and joined the still secret Luftwaffe. In 1936 he attended the Jagdfliegerschule at Schliessheim. In 1938 he placed fourth in the German aerobatics championship and in 1939, second. At the outbreak of World War 2, Eckerle was Staffelkapitän of 3./JG 76. Hauptmann Eckerle was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 18 September 1941 for 30 victories. He recorded three victories on 1 January 1942, when he shot down two Russian I-16 fighters on a morning mission from Kragnogvardeisk and a Russian I-153 biplane fighter on an early afternoon mission. On 20 December 1941, Eckerle was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of I./JG 54. Eckerle recorded his 60th, and last, victory near Voronovo, near Velikiye Luki in aerial combat with Russian I-15bis biplane fighters on 14 February 1942, but his Bf 109 F-2 (W.Nr. 9728) “CH + OP” was also hit in this engagement. He baled out, unhurt, behind enemy lines but remains missing to this day. Reports from prisoners of war indicate Eckerle may have been killed by Russian troops. Eckerle was posthumously awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 82) on 12 March.
Franz Eckerle was credited with 60 victories. He recorded 56 victories over the Eastern front.

Oleg,

Congratulations! That had to be very rewarding to find the information about Franz Eckerle. The cased award with named document is impressive enough, but to have all that information along with a photo of the recipient gives the cased award a whole different look/value. Very impressive!

An NSFK award to a future Fighter Ace.

Thanks for showing it!
