Hi guys

4./ZG1 Oblt "Ziel" R-5 3km north of Ssawinki 1245 hrs 20-30 metres.

But, I also have a few who's rank is too low to be Staffelkapitan's:-

4./ZG26 Ofw "Schroeder" P-51 on 20th June 1944 south of Magdeburg 0925 hrs 6000 metres v.n.e-a.s.m.

Obviously officers should not be bordfunkers, but a fighter claimed is quite often a bordfunker, but a bomber claimed almost always a pilot!

On the micro films I found 555 claims for ZG26 and 380 for ZG1, apart from those listed above all others identified, or from a micro film(usually January 1944) where only time and date mentioned.

Grateful for your assistance.

Kind Regards

Johannes
