Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

A question:

where this list could be posted in WEB? May be at Luftwaffe related Webpage...

Working now on ZG 26 StaKa list. Any help much appreciated.

P.S. Found interesting thing, that is not mentioned in Michael Holms webpage:

18.07.41 Hptm. Lehrmann was shot down and killed in Bf110E-1 W.Nr.4091, 3U+AB, at Staraya Russa. Was he Gr. Kdr. I./ZG 26 after Hptm Herbert Kaminski and before Hptm. Wilhelm Spiess?

Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

THX Robert!

Updated.

Now making III./ZG 26 list.

I was not right about Hptm. Horst Lehrmann. He was not Gr.Kd., but Gr. Adj. of I./ZG 26.

1941 information is very small. But I look forward on "Second formation" in 1943, and it is even worth. Almost 0 information.

Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

Robert - what does it:

Mean? Restemeyer was on leave? Or Ill?

Also: was Hptm Wilhelm Makrocki STaKa of any Staffel before being posted to Gr.Kd. I./ZG 26?

Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

He was in another unit.
