Helmut Haugk (24 February 1914 – 28 January 1992) was a German Luftwaffe ace and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Haugk claimed 18 aerial victories in more than 440 flights. His brother ''Leutnant'' Werner Haugk, who had received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross as ''Fahnenjunker''-''Oberfeldwebel'' after approximately 300 combat missions on 8 August 1944, was shot down and killed in action on 18 October 1944 near Aalborg, Denmark by British fighters while flying a Messerschmitt Bf 109 trainer. ==Awards and decorations== * Aviator badge * Front Flying Clasp of the Luftwaffe in Gold * Iron Cross (1939) * * 2nd Class (13 October 1939) * * 1st Class (23 May 1940) * Wound Badge (1939) * * in Black * * in Silver * Ehrenpokal der Luftwaffe (1 March 1941)〔Obermaier 1989, p. 129.〕 * German Cross in Gold on 14 February 1942 as ''Oberfeldwebel'' in the 7./Zerstörergeschwader 26〔Patzwall & Scherzer 2001, p. 169.〕 * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 21 December 1942 as ''Oberfeldwebel'' and pilot in the 9./Zerstörergeschwader 26 "Horst Wessel"〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 216.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helmut Haugk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
