Col. Hajo Herrmann by Aviation Artist Lonnie Ortega
Hajo Herrmann was the Originator of the Wilde Sau, or Wild Boar,
single-engine night-fighter tactics. Born in Kiel on August 1, 1913, he
began his combat career as a bomber pilot with KG4. Oblt. Herrmann
met with exceptional success in sinking British shipping and received
the Ritterkreuz on October 13, 1940 for his work. Early in 1941, he was
posted with KG30 as Staffelkapitan, and by the following year his
administrative ability brought him membership in the Luftwaffe
Operation Staff. It was here building on his bombing experience, that he
developed the Wilde Sau idea. Major Herrmann organized JG300 in mid
1943 to combat the U.S. day-light raids. He then led the 30th and 1st
jagd Division. On August 8, he received the Eichenlaub for his activity
in the defense of the Reich. In December, 1943, Herrmann was
promoted to Luftverteidigung, or Inspector of Aerial Defense, and was
awarded the Schwerten on January 23, 1944. Oberst Herrmann was
leading the 9th Flieger Division by the end of 1944, and created the
Rammkommando Elbe in his attempt to halt the massive U.S. bomber
offensive. Despite the fact that his wartime activities were directed
against the Western Allies, Oberst Herrmann became a POW of the
Russians and spent a decade in Soviet captivity after the war.
