Found something on this old post (while searching the forum for something else...)

A Fw Bland of 6./ZG 76 claimed a B-17E shot down on 14/10/43. Is he the same guy as yours ?

Re: Brandl zg76
 

Yes the same the absch. is listed in his log-book, the 13 th. the gruppe received visit of RM Göring, maybe that gave him spirit for the day after,
The day he was badly wound was 16. march 1944

Remi,

It is not clear to me how Brandl would have become a PoW being shot down over Germany in March of 1944. Also at that time II./ZG 76 was equipped with the Bf 110 and would have used the four character tactical ID rather than a number. Do you have any information on any claims for Abschüsse made other than the one on 14 Oct 43?

Thanks,

Tom

Yes very strange indeed, just bad wounded not prisoner, but I confirm Sw5, from beg 44 they hv such STKZ prior they hv reg. ones not too much mission maybe a dozen some "treffers" in two, a vic in one ,ohne feinberühr. for the other till the last one brennend abgeschossen, no notizien from his BM Günther..
Carreer from oct 43 to march 44

Hi RT,

Some other information from a post a few years ago -- In the period 1942-43, Karl Brandl served as a pilot with 1./ZG1 and Panzerjagerstaffel 110 in Russia. It would seem that he moved to II./ZG76 in autumn 1943 when the unit was formed.

Do you have any information on his subsequent wartime career / fate?

Thanks
