Michal all I have is that on 6th Ltn Schimmel was killed and on the 7th Uffz Poling and Ltn Strothmann was shot down in the Prague area all belonging to I/KG51. This is from acouple of books so I do not have any confirmation or details,

Regards

It should be Pöling not Poling. All three belonged to 2./KG 51 and Obltn. Strothmann's first name is Heinz.

Michal,
I am sorry but I lost your Email address. You asked for the 25 Mar 1945 mission report (there are 3) and I have them but seem to have lost your address.
Thanks, Art Fiedler
