1st Lt. Walter Schuck, who made his name with JG5 Eismeer in the Far Northern fighter actions, joined his comrades Theo Weissenberger and Heinrich Ehrler in JG7 toward the end of the war. The lean, deadly Schuck had 198 kills against the Red Air Force at this time. In the Me262 he added a further 8 victories against the Western allies-four of them four-engine American bombers. The aggressive Schuck was another who had difficulty confirming many victories in the jet because of the speed of the machine and the problem of scattered wingmen after high-speed sweeps through the bomber formations. Schuck is believed to have numerous additional jet kills-some German sources estimating his tally as high as thirty unconfirmed victories. He ended the war with 206 confirmed kills and Oak leaves to his Knight’s Cross. |
