Heinz Knoke (24 March 1921 – 18 May 1993) was a World War II ''Luftwaffe'' flying ace. He is credited with 33 confirmed aerial victories, all claimed over the Western theatre of operations, and claimed a further 19 unconfirmed kills in over 2,000 flights (In Knoke's memoirs "I Flew for the Führer" he claims to have shot down 52 planes, as documented in the logbooks that were brought to him at the hospital). His total included 19 heavy bombers of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).
