Siegfried Engfer was born on 27 April 1915 at Neuhof in the Dramburg region of Ostpommern. He joined the army in 1935 serving in the infantry before transferring to the Luftwaffe in 1937. Engfer was posted to 9./JG 3 in May 1941. However, he suffered a serious injury in an accident on 4 June, which kept him from combat duties until spring 1942. Operating over the Eastern front, Engfer was particularly successful. He claimed his first victory on 12 March 1942, when he shot down a Russian R-5 biplane tactical reconnaissance aircraft. During summer 1942, Engfer was to gain the majority of his victories. In August, he claimed 15 victories, including his 20th victory on 18 August. His most successful month was September, when he claimed 24 victories, including 30th victory on 2 September, his 40th on 10 September and his 50th on 23 September. Feldwebel Engfer was awarded the Ritterkreuz for 52 victories on 2 October. On 28 May 1943, Engfer transferred to Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe Ost as a fighter pilot instructor. He then suffered a serious illness, which prevented his return to combat duty or flying for the remainder of the war. Engfer died in April 1946.
    Siegfried Enfer was credited with 58 victories in 348 missions. All his victories were gained over the Eastern front and included 25 Il-2 Sturmoviks.
