Kurt Gustav Kwidor (Von Jeidu)...records ??
 
Hi there , I am trying to find any info on my grandfathers military service .
This is a summary of all I know.......

he flew Do 17 "recon" ( white shield with black cross emblem ) from the beginning of the war (was shot down over rottadam while taking pic's of the bridge) , based in norway up till after the end of the "B.O.B" period .
Transfered to fighter unit(40-41?) (bf109) in East Europe... later transfered to the "Med" 42-43'... (was shot down over the ocean , picked up by an Italian torpeopo boat ), taken off active combat (and met my grandmother who was an Austrian nurse at the time)and flew transports ( Ju 52 ) for awhile before going back to active duties .
Was decorated with Kn.C.

Now this part I have found bizzare ..44-45' was court marshalled (association with non ( nazi party) loyal officers is the easiest way to say this) and sent to a luftwaffe flak unit on the eastern front ... finally ending up back in germany in a 262 unit ( as a "retread" he called it ?? but said never flew combat with the jets! )

Now sorry to be vague about all this , dates are approx etc ... but my opa has been dead 11 years and I want to get any info to fill in the gaps as I don't want to forget what he has told me ( this all took years of snippets him telling me of the war days)...the full length stories are not suited to this forum (even thou you could make a movie around them)so have kept them purly air orientated.
Can anyone help me with info or links regarding any part of his service going by the above info ? ... if so I would be very grateful.

Thanks Kurt .(jnr).

ps .. his favorite saying while speeding in an Audi 100 around the hills of Laingholm (nz) .." I've flown every a/c germany had except the stuka .. .. when you fly a 109' then 190' then 262 ' , then you know speed " i heard this all the time while gripping the seat for dear life......

Hello Klaymann!
The "black cross on white shield" emblem is from Aufkl.Gr. 10 "Tannenberg", equiped with Do 17 P during this period. The 2.(H)/10 was based in Oslo-Fornebu from late april/may 1940 until ...?
Regards, Heuser
