Timeline
Karl-Heinz Langer (19 April 1914 – 6 May 1955) was a 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.
During his career he was credited with 30 aerial victories in 486 missions, 10 on the Western Front and 20 on the Eastern Front.
Langer was appointed Staffelkapitän (squadron leader) of 7.
Staffel (7th squadron) of Jagdgeschwader 3 (JG 3—3rd Fighter Wing) on 1 June 1943.
On 14 October, during the Second Raid on Schweinfurt, Langer claimed the destruction of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber shot down 8 km east of Hammelburg.
In this engagement, his Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 (Werknummer 26924—factory number) was shot down by defensive fire.
Langer was forced to bail out near Hammelburg.
Due to the injuries sustained, he was replaced by Leutnant Erwin Stahlberg as leader of 7.
On 14 July 1943, Langer was temporarily given command of III.
Gruppe (3rd group) of JG 3 after its former commander Hauptmann Wolfgang Ewald was shot down behind enemy lines and taken prisoner of war.
In consequence, command of 7.
When on 20 July, Hauptmann Walther Dahl took command of the Gruppe, Langer returned to his 7.
On 21 May 1944, Langer was appointed Gruppenkommandeur (group commander) of III.
He thus succeeded Dahl who was transferred.
Langer was credited with 30 aerial victories claimed in 486 combat missions.
Mathews and Foreman, authors of Luftwaffe Aces — Biographies and Victory Claims, researched the German Federal Archives and found documentation for 29 aerial victory claims, plus one further unconfirmed claim.
This number includes ten on the Western Front, including four four-engined bombers, and 19 on the Eastern Front.
Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = Planquadrat), for example "PQ 4056".
The Luftwaffe grid map (Jägermeldenetz) covered all of Europe, western Russia and North Africa and was composed of rectangles measuring 15 minutes of latitude by 30 minutes of longitude, an area of about 360 sqmi.
These sectors were then subdivided into 36 smaller units to give a location area 3 x in size.
