Hey Andy and all, After all the help I received in the Quest for Info of pilot Udo Cordes here at this board, I thought I would see if I could get some more of the same excellent help here.
I am searching for any info on Pilot Heine Cordes who flew with JG54 and had 52 confirmed victories. Do any members know if he was related to Udo Cordes? I could not find the previous thread we had going on Udo here at the board, was it lost?
Any help would be appreciated and as always....Thank you!!! Horrido!

Hi Kevin,

Karl-Heinz "Heino" Cordes served with 1./JG 54 during 1943 before doing a stint as an instructor with 1./JGr. Ost in 1944. He then returned to JG 54. I have a note that he received the DKiG but he isn't listed in the usual sources, though it is probable a pilot with 50+ kills would have received it.

crashlanded 05Jul43, FW 190A-4 (147132)
crashlanded 04Nov43 (combat), FW 190A-4 (142491)

No idea whether he is related to "Lok-Töter"

Here's the link to the thread on Udo Cordes
