Biography

Oberfeldwebel Hubert Gohle served as a Feldwebel for over four years with the Luftzeugamt (See) in Travemünde, before his career would take an exciting new path in August 1940.
He was admitted to pilot school in Pütnitz, received his Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen in July 1941, and continued training as a Stuka pilot.
He was sent to the southern sector of the Eastern front in August 1942, finally ended up with the Störkampfstaffel 1 of Luftflotte 4 in November 1942.
There, he was thrown into the fierce fighting for Stalingrad.
Gohle's final and highest decoration followed in June 1944, with the awarding of the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold. By that time, he had been transferred to the Nachtschlachtgruppe 4, flying with the 2. Staffel from Litzmannstadt (Lodz, Poland).
