Hugo Broch (born 6 January 1922) is a World War II Luftwaffe ace credited with 81 victories in 324 missions, all on the Eastern Front. His score included twelve double victories and three triple victories.
In January 1943 he arrived on the Eastern Front to serve in II/Jagdgeschwader 54, and claimed his first victory two months later. His first combat experiences were as a wingman to prominent Experten Horst Ademeit and Heinrich 'Bazi' Sterr. During October '44 he scored five confirmed victories; one Pe-2 bomber on the 10th, a Yak-9 on the 22nd, and three Il-2s on the 28th. When the year ended he had amassed 71 victories.
He received the German Cross in Gold on 26 November 1943 as Unteroffizier in the 6./Jagdgeschwader 54 and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 12 March 1945 as Leutnant and pilot in the 8./Jagdgeschwader 54.
At age 95 he fulfilled a long held ambition to fly in a Spitfire, the two seat Tr.9 MJ627. He is currently 99 years old.

I based the skin on Claes Sundin's profile above.

We’ve gotten to the point where it’s surprising to see that a WWII veteran is still alive. I’m glad I was born just in time to meet some.

Thanks Flowbee excellent product , JG54 so absolutely I am  already flying in this aircraft skin.

 

Also as always enjoy the pilot combat history summary.

 

Remember on the BBC watching Broch's flight in a Spitfire a few years back, can't remember I think it was Dan Snow doing the commentary.

 

Since you are on the FW190 and Jg54 , could I request an A3 or A5 in well known green apparel with green heart and Nuremburg coat of arms .

 

 again thanks.
