Hi,

The correct WNr. for the loss on the 31.05.42 is 10240.

Thanks for help. So, does it mean that I./JG 53 suffered also no combat loss?

Remi, no, it does not have any connection with Potjans :) Only just my interest in transfer flight from Germany to the Eastern Front.

Right Tomi, bad interpretation of a bad writing, 10240 seems better, no clues with the transit units for losses hv you a location Michal ??

but at that time seems no special units to hv that task , could one give some info on who was transfering the planes to the front units at that time
