If anyone is in contact with him, please have him email me at:

AH_wulfie@cox.net

I think the email address I have for him is no longer valid.

Many thanks in advance,

Mike/wulfie

Haven't seen him Wulfie.

He got all fed up with the game, did his farewell post and is flying IL-2 exclusively..

Something about that game being a cut above and we all being kinda dweeby..

I wouldn't imagine he'd be back from the conviction of his farewell post........

No quite, I never spoke bad of ah when I left and said I would be back in Feb. to fullfill my obligations in the Niemen scenario.

We have completed 1 frame of Niemen........

Do you need me to punt up that "farewell" post?

"Batz," is the last name of a LW ace.

Wilhelm, aka "Willi", aka "Rabitzsky", Batz

5./JG 52 "Rabatz" Staffel he had 237 kills which placed him 6th in the line of lw aces..........

Batz is on the right

Quote

Wilhelm “Willi” Batz was born on 21 May 1916 at Bamberg. He entered the Luftwaffe in 1935. He trained as a fighter pilot but was assigned instructing duties from 1937. He was promoted Leutnant on 1 November 1940. His repeated requests for a transfer to combat duty were rejected. After 5,000 flying hours instructing at the flying school at Kaufbeuren and the fighter pilot school at Bad Aibling, Batz was finally transferred to 2./Ergänzung-Jagdgruppe Ost to undergo operation training on 20 December 1942. On 1 February 1943, Batz was appointed adjutant to Johannes Steinhoff (176 victories, RK-S) in II./JG 52 based on the Eastern front. He did not score his first victory until 11 March 1943. He was appointed Staffelkapitän of 5./JG 52 in May 1943, by which time he had seven victories to his credit. On 9 September, he claimed his 20th victory. His 40th followed on 16 November and his 50th on 30 November. By the end of 1943, Batz had 75 victories to his credit. Batz fell ill in February 1944 and was grounded for two weeks. On his return he became spectacularly successful. He recorded his 100th victory on 24 March 1944. Oberleutnant Batz was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 26 March 1944 for 101 victories. On 19 April, Batz was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 52, taking over from Major Günther Rall (275 victories, RK-S). He was operating with such luminaries as Hauptmann Erich “Bubi” Hartmann (352 victories, RK-Br), Oberleutnant Friedrich “Fritz” Obleser (120 victories, RK) and Oberleutnant Walter Wolfrum (137 victories, RK) among the high-scoring pilots of III./JG 52 at that time..

Throughout the summer of 1944, he was downing three or four Soviet aircraft a day. He downed 15 enemy aircraft on 31 May 1944 to record his 141st through 155th victories, scoring these victories on seven separate missions. Hauptmann Batz was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 526) on 20 July after 180 victories. In June he was to combat USAAF aircraft over Rumania and recorded two P-51s and a B-24 during this time. His 200th victory was gained on 17 August 1944. By the end of 1944 Batz had shot down 224 enemy aircraft, including six for his 203rd through 208th victories on 22 August. Batz remained in command of III./JG 52 until 31 January 1945 when he was transferred to take command of II./JG 52 in Hungary. Major Batz was awarded the Schwertern (Nr 145) on 21 April 1945. At war’s end he was able to extricate his Gruppe from Hungary via Austria, and return to Germany. He was thus able to elude Soviet captivity that befell the other two Gruppen and the JG 52 staff. Post-war “Willi” Batz joined the Bundesluftwaffe and retired an Oberst. He passed away on 11 September 1988 at Mauschendorf in Unterfranken.
”Willi” Batz flew 445 combat missions in scoring his 237 victories. 233 victories were achieved over the Eastern front but he did claim four victories, including two four-engined bombers over the Western front. He was wounded three times and was shot down four times.

I guess names are like shirts, go figure..

For some reason I don't understand..

Ya gotta name, and it's yours. Everyone you play with knows you by your name. If you change games, you run into familier names. Over at WWIIonline when I first went in, saw a bunch of old friends..

It is the only thing that represents who "you" are in the online sim world.

To change it makes no sense to me. I fail to understand the reasoning..

well in ah when cancel your account you loose your name, now I can email ht/skuzzy and ask they change my nic bac or say f'it and move on. My nic is wotan in wwiiol and numerous other games. I didnt think I would bug anyone until after niemen at which point I may very well cancel the account again.

The new "bbs" nik" was to match my ingame name.
