Hallo gents!

At this moment, I dont know "another" Herrmann with Erpr.Gr.210>I./SKG210>I./ZG1, so it must be the same man.

I have here a photo of Bf110E-2 S9+HB of Stab I./SKG210, with 4 abschusse and numerous ground target kills on fin. Caption states, "Konotop" that means photo was taken at autumn 1941, in Ukraine.

Could it be Lt. Herrmann's aircraft? If so, he must have 4 additional victories to his tally.

Evgeny,

I am quite sure they are two different persons. I have a picture of a Lt. Hardi Hermann taken in the summer of 1940 with Erpr.Gr. 210. He is wearing EK I and FF-Spange. He was in the Stab of Erpr.Gr. 210.

He is definetely not the same guy as Hptm. Wilfried Her(r)mann, born 14.12.1914 of I./ZG 1. Note that the VDK Datenbank has Wilfried Herrmann as Hermann. Not sure what is correct.

Several years ago I was in touch with one of the visitors of this board whose father was ground crew with Hptm. Herrmann. I received the scans of his fathers soldbuch with some remarks on his 'chief'. Unfortunately I am no longer able to find those scans or the contact to the person I received them from...

Thank You all so much for answers, gents!

But I am still under a mistery:
At moment, I have only 2 names of Stab I./SKG210 pilots, and both were Gr.Kdr.
I have no other names, and THAT IS A PROBLEM.
