He is credited with 6 kills. The standard camouflage of RLM 74/75/76 was oversprayed with washable white paint on the upper sides for the winter. The only exception was the framing of the canopy. The nonstandard Geschwader Stab marking is green, the color reserved for aircraft flown by HQ members. The green heart was painted on JG 54 ‘Grünherz’ aircraft. Note the yellow Eastern Front markings on the wings, rudder and fuselage.
