After doing things like selecting the members together with Squadron Leader Sakamoto, she established the 501st Joint Fighter Wing with the backing of Air Commodore Galland and Air Chief Marshall Dowding.

Later, when the Jagdgeschwader 3 (JG3) was undergoing a reorganization in Gallia, she was appointed as its commanding officer.Īfter going over to Britannia, Minna proposed the establishment of a Joint Fighter Wing to the top brass. It was also around that time that she deepened her friendship with Flight Lieutenant Barkhorn and Flying Officer Hartmann. Then, during the Karlsland evacuation, she was promoted to Flight Lieutenant and became the leader of the Gruppe III of that same unit. When the Neuroi first invaded, Minna was a Flying Officer serving as the commander of the Jagdgeschwader 53 (JG 53) 7th Staffel. Ever since she lost him in the Pas de Calais evacuation, Minna seems to have a tendency of losing her composure when a decision concerning the life and death of a specially close person is demanded from her and still has issues struggling with her grief to this day. Kurt would later enlist in the army and apply to the maintenance troops in order to follow her into the battlefield. Minna often sang along to the piano of Kurt Flachfeld, a young man who lived in a neighboring house in her town who she adored like an older brother. She sang Lili Marleen as a farewell gift for the crew of the departing aircraft carrier Akagi. Minna is a talented singer in her youth she aspired to study music abroad at a conservatory in Wien or at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, but had to give up on it on account of the Neuroi invasion. One theory says that the Wilcke family are the descendants of Anna Wilcke, a singer who was also the second wife of Bach, and because of that they thrive at music, but it is merely no more than a rumour. Minna was born in Posnania, located in eastern Karlsland, near the national border with Ostmark.
