Thank you so much Ingo for informations
Is it possible to have pictures of Johannes Hager?

[Erich]

Johannes was one of the very few of NJG 1's personell outside of the I. gruppe to fly the He 219. He also tested and flew the Ju 88G-6.

Hi Erich
Many thanks for your reply.
NJG1 was in Belgium, didn't it! Can you confirm Johannes Hager in Florennes and Sint Truiden?
At which date?
There's a lot of "crash monument" in belgium with dates aircrafts lost. Many of these are due to Johannes Hager.
Where can I find pictures of this pilot?
