There is a rogue group of copyright infringers who have stolen a much earlier version of my data - from at least 10 years ago - and have the affrontery to publish that, along with using my name, on their poorly researched website. They claim this is the 'original' Kracker Archive, a ridiculous claim since my Archive has been in a state of continuous development for over 30 years and nobody - NOBODY - has the original. They have no right to use my name or my data and readers who come across this nonsense should do nothing to encourage theft of this nature. I am outraged by this blatant theft and misrepresentation of my lifetime's work. The ONLY person I have ever authorized to publish my data and use my name is Kelvin Youngs, who earned my trust and respect many years ago and is authorized by me to publish my work on whichever website he organizes, currently this being its present home at the highly respected Aircrew Remembered.

A friend of Dr. Erich Mix, he was known to have flown a few missions with JG-1. On 22 July, 1941, in Wk# 3765, he volunteered, along with pilots of II/JG-77, to fly a couple of combat missions against Soviet pilots. He was promptly shot down by flak and force-landed in Moldavia. Following this experience, he made a quick return to his headquarters in Germany. He was most likely the victim of MiG-3 fighters of the 55th Fighter Aviation Regt., F/Ldr Alex Pokryshkin, who attacked the Beltsy AF the day before. Hitler personally forbade his making any more such flights. Burial in the Invalidenfriedhof, Berlin (D.Drury).
