Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

THX. From LG 1? 28.08.40 then. And what Staffel flew Hptm. Hans von Boltenstern and Hptm. Alexander Mauke?

Next ones list will be about I./ZG 2 + I./ZG 52>II./ZG 2.

Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

He was shot down right over Gatwick aerodrome by Sgt Josef Frantisek of 303 Sqn. He brought a parachute taken from the wreck, and a bit of it, autographed by fellow pilots, was held in Sqn collection and now is a museum piece here in Poland. I believe I have his combat report.

Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

THX, Franek. Updated.

Re: Zerstorer StaKa list:
 

Evgeny,

they were all Stakas of the 14th Staffel.
