Re: Looking for informations about Bf 110s from 3.(Z)/LG1 and I./ZG76 during PC.
I have the book "Zerstörer gruppe. A history of V./(Z)LG 1 - I/NJG 3. 1939-1941" by Ludwig von Eimannsberger. Schiffer publications.
In chapter 2 "Poland" page 15, it reads that on the first mission on september 3 (7:15-10:00AM), three aircraft were lost:
two aircraft of 15th staffel (Uffz. Mazurowski/Uffz. Lothar and Uffz. Plankenhorn/Uffz. Kottman) they were crashed on Warsaw area.
one aircraft of 14th staffel (Uffz. Lindemann/Uffz. Radeck) forced landing near the river Bug.
On the second mission (2:35-5:10 PM) in the Ploch-Ciechanow-Siercec area, the 13th had a casualty "The first member of our Staffel to be killed in this war", the radio operator Uffz. Rahlfs was killed by a well aimed burst of a PZL 24. The pilot, was the Staffel´s Kapitän Oblt. Müller and landing safe.
The only other casualties of the unit were on september 7th. The deputy Gruppenkomandeur and Kapitän of 15 staffel Hptm. Schleif and his radio operator Uffz. Haupp.
