Karl-Heinz Weber
Karl-Heinz Weber (30 January 1922 – 7 June 1944) was a ''Luftwaffe'' flying ace of World War II. He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves ((ドイツ語:Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub)). The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grade Oak Leaves was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Weber was credited with 136 aerial victories—that is, 136 aerial combat encounters resulting in the destruction of the enemy aircraft. All his victories were claimed over the Eastern Front in over 500 combat missions.〔Spick 1996, p. 230.〕
==Career==
Karl-Heinz Weber was born on 30 January 1922 in Heringsdorf in the province of Pomerania, a Free State of Prussia. A pre-war glider pilot, he volunteered for military service in the ''Luftwaffe'' in late 1939. ''Leutnant'' Weber was posted to 7./''Jagdgeschwader'' 51 (JG 51—51st Fighter Wing) on 1 October 1940.〔For an explanation of ''Luftwaffe'' unit designations see Organisation of the Luftwaffe during World War II.〕 He claimed his first aerial victory on 24 June 1941 during the opeing phase of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union.〔Obermaier 1989, p. 68.〕 He was credited with his 100th aerial victory on 13 August 1943.〔Weal 1998, p. 64.〕 He was the 49th ''Luftwaffe'' pilot to achieve the century mark.〔Obermaier 1989, p. 244.〕
Weber was appointed ''Gruppenkommandeur'' (group commander) of III./''Jagdgeschwader'' 1 (JG 1—1st Fighter Wing) on 3 June 1944. Only four days later, on 7 June, Weber led III./JG 1 against Allied fighters south of Rouen on his first mission over the Invasion Front. It is assumed that he was shot down and killed in his Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6 (''Werknummer'' 410 399—factory number) by Polish Army Air Forces (P.A.F) P-51 Mustangs. His body was never recovered. Weber was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves.〔
