Werner "Quax" Quast (21 June 1920 – 12 July 1962) 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. On 7 August 1943 Werner Quast rammed his Messerschmitt Bf 109 into an Il-2 Sturmovik and was forced to bail out. He was taken prisoner by Soviet forces and was held until 1949. He joined the postwar Luftwaffe in 1956 and died in a helicopter accident in Mittenwald on 12 July 1962. During his career was credited with 84 aerial victories, all on the Eastern Front. ==Awards== * Flugzeugführerabzeichen * Front Flying Clasp of the Luftwaffe * Ehrenpokal der Luftwaffe (25 June 1943) * Iron Cross (1939) * * 2nd Class * * 1st Class * German Cross in Gold on 23 July 1943 as ''Feldwebel'' in the 4./Jagdgeschwader 52〔Patzwall & Scherzer 2001, p. 362.〕 * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 21 December 1943 as ''Fahnenjunker-Oberfeldwebel'' and pilot in the 4./Jagdgeschwader 52〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 283.〕 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「Werner Quast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
