hmmm,

Luftwaffe in Colour, Zerstorer volume II should be of help, Teil 3 and 4 of Meyer/Stipdonk Zerstorer und Nachtjaegdverbanden has nice photos.
And there is ZG 26 history in preparation, but with no deadline as far as I know...we have to wait:)

Hello!

Interesting bit of info edwest.

Does the Kriegstagbuch cover period 12th September to the end of September 1941? II/ZG 26 was the subordinated to Fliegerführer Ostsee at Pärnu, Estonia. I would be very interested about that part of the book.

Cheers,
Kari

Hello Kari,



I do not have this book. I copied this information from an old post from TOCH.
