Horst Tietzen
Victories : 34
Horst Jakob Tietzen was born in Neu-Ostwalter on 19th July 1912. Leutnant Tietzen scored his first victory during the Spanish Civil War when flying with 3.J/88 of the Condor Legion, on 19th July 1938. He went on to score a further 6 victories during the Spanish Civil War, receiving the Spanish Cross in Gold with Swords. Later, he joined 5./JG51 as Staffelkapitan, and took part in the Battle of France, claiming a Bloch MB174 and a Fairey Battle. With eight victories to his name, he went on to take part in the Battle of Britain, vastly increasing his total with JG51. In combat with Spitfires and Hurricanes throughout July and August 1940, he claimed three Hurricanes in one day on the 15th of August. Just three days later, he became just the fourth German pilot to score 20 victories. However, his luck ran out on the same day, as he was shot down over the Thames estuary while in combat with Hurricane and was killed, his body later washing ashore at Calais. He was posthumously awarded the Knights Cross and was promoted. |
