Sorry this is slightly off the main subject, but has anyone gotten a response from Christian Schmidt`s of late ? Have tried for month now with no response. Am trying to order 13/V.
Thanks

Re: JFV Vol. 13/VI
 

Hi

I have no trouble with messages to and from Christian Schmidt, but I know a colleague who has, whether that is because he is in America, or that I don't send messages via the web site, I just e mail direct, I do not know. But Gabi is in business, its a shame the German postal service is not functioning to Australia, its about 80 dollars US for the postage of one book at the moment. I am wondering what to do when 13/VI comes out!.

Russ,

You could try one of these alternate delivery services:

A friend used "Shipito", successfully (about two years ago). Unfortunately, I have lost touch with him since the closure of Hyland's. Enter Shipito on Google.

Hello! They are still sending books but the URL of the shop changed to "https://www.christian-schmidt.com/". Perhaps this is the reason? Regards Ralph

It comprises 300 pages and covers Stab/JG 76, Stab, I., II. and III./JG 77, JGr. 200, Stab, I., II., III. and IV./JG 300, Stab, I., II., III. and IV./JG 301, Stab, I., II. and III./JG 302, Stab, I. and II./JG 400, Jasta Erla and EKdo. 262 as well as Stab, III., IV. and 13(Z)/JG 5 fighting against the Western allies. The addendum contains additions, corrections and several photos complementing the earlier volumes. There are in all some 180 photos.

I hope you will enjoy it.

It is already on my desk....and enjoying it as always....

Re: JFV 13/VI
 

Can anyone that has bought JFV 13/VI advise how many claims were made by Erpobungskommando 262. I am interested if those same claims were carried over into JG 7.

Re: JFV 13/VI
 

12 listed between 08/08 and 18/09

Re: JFV 13/VI
 

Hello Nokose,

according to JFV 13/VI in the period 8 Aug to 13 Sep 1944 9 claims were made by the Erprobungskommando 262 (= Kommando Lechfeld or Kommando Thierfelder):
1 B-17, 4 Mossies, 1 P-38, 1 P-51 and 2 Spitfires.
Two more Mosquito-claims on 13 and 18 Sep 1944 were not confirmed.
The further Me 262 claims are listed in the victory table of III./JG 7 (JFV 13/V).

Regards
Leo

Re: JFV 13/VI
 

Thanks Leo, I will stick with JFV 13/V for JG 7 and JG 54

Re: JFV 13/VI
 

A total of 11 is listed, starting and ending with claims of Lt. Joachim Weber (08.08.1944 and 18.09.1944, respectively).
