  • Oberstleutnant Wolfgang Schellmann (March 2, 1911 – June 22, 1941) was German WWII Luftwaffe Ace, commander of JG 2 and JG 27 and a winner of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Wolfgang Schellmann was credited with 26 victories in over 150 combat missions. He recorded 12 victories during the Spanish Civil War. Of his 13 victories recorded during World War Two, 12 were claimed over the Western front and one over the Eastern front. On 22 June 1941, the opening day of Operation Barbarossa, Schellmann's Bf 109E collided with a I-153 Chaykahe piloted by a Lt Kuzmin after he had just destroyed his 26th victim, a I-16. Kuzmin was killed in the collision but Schellmann managed to bailed out over Soviet territory. Attempting to make his way back to German lines he was captured and later murdered by NKVD troops. (en)
