Bf 109E-4, WNr. 4869, flown by Lt. Bernhard Malischewski, Stab II./JG 54, Campagne-les-Guines, France, October 1940
This “Emil” was personal mount of Stab II./JG 54 officer Lt. Bernhard Malischewski who was already long serving member at the
time, as his presence was dating back to the times, when the unit had original designation I./JG 76. He scored one victory during
Sitzkrieg and three more during French campaign and the Battle of Britain. His last victory dates to the September 29 when he
shot down a Spitfire near London. Malischewski was captured on October 12 after forced landing south of Tenterden, Kent. It is
believed he was shot down by S/Ldr R. S. Tuck, however Malischewski stated the engine failure was his real defeater in the dogfight. Indeed, his airplane did not have any hits from enemy fire. In the UK he was kept as prisoner of war at Camp 13, the Hayes
Camp, Swanwick, Derbyshire. He joined the group of prisoners, who were planning escape through a tunnel. One of the group
members was Franz von Werra. They nicknamed themselves as “Swanwick Tiefbau A. G.” meaning Swanwick Engineering Co.
Three prisoners including von Werra escaped, but Malischewski gave up the effort earlier during digging process. In February
1945 he was sentenced to 28 days detention for attempting to escape from the train bringing him from one Canadian camp to
another. He was promoted to rank of Oberleutnant during his captivity and passed away in 1975.
