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.

at least Fighter Operational Clasp in Bronze		KilledInAction (KIA) 1 Jan., 1945 (Operation Bodenplatte) by German AA gunners whose poor recognition skills took many a German pilots life this day. His D-9 was reported to have crashed east of Wijhe, north of Deventer (DeSwart). He is buried in Ysselsteyn AN-6-135. As Prillers longtime wingman, he and Priller were the only two German fighters over the Normandy beaches on D-Day, 6 June, 1944. They made a high speed strafing run over Sword Beach before returning to Lille-Nord, thus preserving their honor. It is commonly believed that the Luftwaffe was so depleted that it never made an appearance in strength over Normandy. The RLM reported only 289 single engine fighters operational on 7 June, 1944. His 3 victories; a P-38 at Cambrai on 24 May, 1944 (another source idd the AC as a P-51 near Bapaume), a 2nd P-38 of 55FG at Compiegne on 11 June, 1944, and a 3rd P-38 (Probable) of 55FG at Roye-Compiegne on 11 June, 1944.
