Superb work, Nick, as usual. Thanks for the hard work. those who have not worked with ULTRA or Intelligence files have no idea how tedious it is!

Re: Ghostbombers updates
I've just posted some new material to my website:
http://www.ghostbombers.com/updates.html There are now several additions to the article on I./JG 2 in Italy. These include two "new" missions and a Bf 109 loss and are drawn from a 4. Staffel pilot's Flugbuch. This information is thanks to Erik Mombeek whose work on JG 2 is considerably more ambitious than mine. |
Re: Ghostbombers updates
Sorry Nick, but I don't see any changes that you have made to the engine carried by the 109H. As I mentioned in an earlier thread, the designation of the engine as a DB 605GS was a perfectly valid one.

The Personalverlustmeldung that I used as a source for the article says that Oblt. Steffen was «Bordfu.» who failed to return from a mission to the Linnich area on 24.2.45 and that his fate was unknown. The Gen.Qu. 6. Abt. loss return for that date also says he is a «Bf.» and the he is missing. What is your source for his being posted missing on 1 November 1944? |
Re: Ghostbombers updates
The info come from Christian Möller, but guys are different as the late Steffen was oblt/hptm nd Nachrichtenoffizier b. Stab, presum. flew to gain experience/knowledge/fun/....

I've finally completed the latest updates to the Ghost Bombers website: a complete redesign of the article on Schlachtgeschwader 4: last battles in Italy, including quite a lot of additional material on the combat of 13 May 1944.

Re: Ghostbombers updates
Lots of thanks for updating your pages, Mr Beale!
Hopefully all this new material will result in a new book about an unknown chapter of WW2 aviation... Regards RolandF (owner of "Ghost Bombers" |

Unfortunately for aviation book-publishing, words are not enough. So if you know of 200 high-quality, unpublished photos on a Luftwaffe theme, please let me know! At least the web offers an outlet for things that would not be viable for a publisher to print. |

Re: Ghostbombers updates
Hello!
Once again marvellous piece of research, Nick! I wonder if any photo of the He 219 B4+AA has surfaced yet? The +AA at Denmark post-war is said have no relation to NJ-Staffel Norwegen (but what it is then?). Do you know anything more of this issue, Junker? Regards, Kari |
Re: Ghostbombers updates
Interesting, the Ju 88 C-6 360176 was C9+AE (V/NJG 5) thougt was or had been the personal aircraft of ace´Prinz zo Sayn. Wittgestein in 1942/1943. FB Leichsenring records this with this code in April 1943. No fate yet recorded.

I'm beginning to suspect that +AA in Kastrup could indeed be the Njst. Norwegen Maschine. Junker |

Re: Ghostbombers updates
The book "Stirlings in Action with the Airborne Forces", by Dennis Williams, Pen & Sword, has on page 277 a photo of a machine gun breech, identified as being from S Sugar of 620 Sqn, lost over Norway on 28/29 December 1944. On it is an inscription. "Abschuss am 28.12.44. Hauptmann Vogt."

Re: Ghostbombers updates
Hello Nick,
Interesting article about KGr.100 (though my main interest is I./NJG 1) and I was suprised to see the name of Dr. Kühnhold > it could be the same person who was involved with Jägerleitstellung Teerose near Arnhem in 1942/1943, I must check my archives to see where I have read about him. Just a minor detail but an interesting one. All the best, Marcel Hogenhuis |
Re: Ghostbombers updates
Hi Nick, a fantastic look and the complexities of how a Luftwaffe bomber group functions on a day to day basis. Excellent work so far, looking forward to further extracts.
Best regs, Steve. |
Re: Ghostbombers updates
Hi Nick, will there be any further excerpts of Kampfgruppe 100's activities from the Ultra files to come?
I found the information in the first extract really interesting, and illustrates the daily life of an operational bomber unit. Best regs, Steve. |

A lot of things have to happen before I do that: (a) get over bout of flu; (b) have holiday; (c) rotate and crop 2,000 images from last trip to Kew; and possibly (d) retire — a happy state I hope to achieve this summer. That's not to mention a couple of other themes I think I can develop from the 1940 Ultras. Later this year I'd hope to photograph the 1940 files I haven't got yet — see (d) above! |
Re: Ghostbombers updates
Hi Nick, sorry to hear your feeling under the weather ( a), my sympathies to you, ive just got over the very same!
It would appear you have quite a lot on this year, i would be very interested to see more in the line of a/c repair and replacement stuff, also the information through to the Coventry Blitz period. My very best wishes to you and please keep us posted! Steve. |

Re: Ghostbombers updates
Nick,
Interesting article about NAG 6. I was hoping to find some information about Me 262 W.Nr. 111636. See: http://www.ghostbombers.com/dd.16-8-2007 W.Nr.111636 reported serviceable at 08.00 hrs. on 22 February. On 24 March, Adjutant reported that WNr. 111636 had been taken over by NAG 6 and took off that day. The plane was found at Twente in April 1945. Jaap |
