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.

4591 Ender, GerhardFw6/KG-55He 111P-4 Werk # 3000 "G1 + FP" (lost)Bomber Operational ClaspKIA 9 May, 1941 when he attempted a belly landing at Long Riston after being damaged by a British Defiant Night Fighter. The fighter set fire to the port engine, stopped the starboard engine and killed Ender. Remaining crew: Fw Heinrich Müller, Observer (POW), Uffz Bruno Schakat, wireless operator (KIA) and Fw Georg Schopf, mechanic (POW). The remaining crew bailed. Schopf went out at 900 feet and broke his neck landing, but survived. Schakat was less fortunate, his chute tangled on the AC, and he was dragged to his death as the AC crashed. Müller intended to jump, but his chute opened before he could evacuate the plane, so he opted to make the force landing himself, and did so, coming down in a field within yards of the farmhouse of Walter Kirkwood. His injuries from the landing caused him to remain in the hospital for five months. Ender and Schakat lie in the German Military Cemetery at Cannock Chase.
