Ltn Herbert Wasserzier
 

Dear List members, I am interested in any details for the above pilot who, I guess, shot down my Gt Uncle New Zealander RAF Pilot Officer R.E Short 25 July 1940 North of Cherbourg. Also any details of his plane Blenheim N6174. I have as much detail as I can from serching the web and his RAF records.
It is for my Family History.

Thanks for your time.

Great Thankyou both for the information. :)

I./JG 1 had by now become III./JG 27 so this pilot was with 7./JG 27. His kill (his first) was north of Cherbourg at 1925 hrs
