Hauptmann Hugo Dahmer KC

Hugo Dahmer was one of the Luftwaffe’s most successful NCO’s. His first victory, was whilst serving in Adolf Galland’s JG26 as an Unteroffizer on May 16 1940 flying the Bf109E. By Feb 1941 he had 12 victories, amassed through the Battles in France and Britain. He then served in Norway with 1./JG77 and from here Dahmer went to the Murmansk to fight the Russians, developing a new Sauhafen tactic, where irregular flying during attacks created confusion amongst the enemy. Dahmer finished the war with a tally of 57 confirmed, over 307 missions.
