Fate of II./ZG 1 Bordfunkern
 

Hi all

Does someone know what was the fte of the Bordfunkern of the II./ZG 1 when the unit was redesignated to III./JG 76 and later to IV./JG 53?
Thanks

Peter

The most likely scenarios for the Bordfunkers this late in the war is that they were either:
A. transferred to the bomber arm (or what was left of it)
B. retained, or started retaining for single seat fighters or..
3. most likely underwent some comabt training for grounds forces typically to flesh out the bleeding Fallschirmjager units, or Feld Division.

I have document groups to a number of former crewman where this was the case.

Thank you Jeremy...
Just thought if there was not some concrete fate. I know that at the end of 1944 Bordfunkers were send to ground combat.
But II./ZG 1 was redesignated in summer 1944, so I expect their use at Luftwaffe.
Will search details...
