Six lever arch files with aerial victory reports, combat reports and witness statements for all of Gollob's 150 air victories. All reports with hand-written signatures by Gollob and witnesses, among which are many autographs from Gollob's wing comrades, such Walther Dahl (Oak Leaves), Werner Lucas (RK), Walter Ohlrogge (RK), Leopold Münster (Oak Leaves), Hans Fuß (RK), Gustav Frielinghaus (RK), Kurt Ubben (Oak Leaves), Ernst-Wilhelm Reinert (Swords), Adolf Dickfeld (Oak Leaves), Günther Rall (Swords), Viktor Petermann (RK), Edmund Roßmann (RK) and many others. It is most certainly an extraordinary stroke of good fortune to be able to view the preserved collected documentation of Gollob's successes. An example is the report he turned in for his 86th aerial victory (tr): "I started on 30 April 42 at 0640 hours with Oblt. Shulten on a free hunt in the area west of Leningrad. At 0704 hours I saw a flight of J 16s which were flying eastward past Peterhof to S. I closed in behind the leftmost J 16, which hung back somewhat, always staying substantially lower. Once my approach, some 100 m deeper, was close enough, I hauled up higher and was able to surprise attack at 50 metres. The J 16 turned leftward and downward. I pursued it and on the 3rd approach was close enough to shoot. The J 16 went into a perpendicular nose dive at 0705 striking a small moor on the southern edge of Volodaresskaya and together with the pilot burst into a fireball." Gordon Mac Gollob, born in Vienna on 16 June 1912, took up aviation at the age of 18, when he started flying gliders. He joined the Austrian army in 1933 and began officer training at the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt. After the annexation of Austria he joined Destroyer Wing 76 as a Oberleutnant (first lieutenant). He received the Iron Cross 2nd Class after first air victories during the invasion of Poland and the Iron Cross 1st Class after the invasion of Norway. In the meantime he was trained as a night fighter and joined Fighter Wing 3 at the Channel. As a captain and group commander at the eastern front Gollob received a goblet of Honour and after his 34th air victory the Knight's Cross. In October the Oak Leaves were awarded to him for his 81st victory before he was appointed commander of Fighter Squadron 77. Shortly thereafter he received the Swords and in August he became the third soldier ever to receive the highest distinction of the Wehrmacht at the time, the Diamonds to the Knight's Cross for 150 air victories. After his grounding Gollob dedicated himself to technically improving the Luftwaffe. Later serving with the air staff, he was first dismissed by General der Jagdflieger Galland before replacing him. After war captivity and a political career in Austria Gordon Gollob passed away in Sulingen on 8 September 1987.Extensive historical material for an evaluation of military history.Condition: II -
