1,000th Mission of Georg Jakob


19 June 1944: Generalleutnant Walther Wenck (left, Chef des Generalstabes Heeresgruppe Südukraine) and Generaloberst Ferdinand Schörner (Oberbefehlshaber Heeresgruppe Südukraine) congratulates Major Georg Jakob (Geschwaderkommodore Schlachtgeschwader 10) who has just completed his 1000th Feindflug (combat mission)! For this extraordinary achievement, on 30 September 1944 Jakob was awarded the Eichenlaub for his Ritterkreuz (which he had previously obtained on 27 April 1942). In this photo, Jakob hugs the mascot of SG 10, a pig, with the number "1,000" written on the animal's body.
