Hello Marcel, nice to hear from you. Of course I am willing to help. The details of JG 6 missions on 17-19 September are well known to me, that part of the research is pretty much done. At the same time I don't think JG 6 was at Venlo for refuelling. I have quite a number of JG 6 logbooks for these missions and they don't list refueling at Venlo. Do you have a time for the refueling on Sept 17? Units that were active on that particular day are I./JG 26, II./JG 26, III./JG 26 and II./JG 6. The last Gruppe we already discussed and nothing indicates refuelling of II./6 at Venlo. I looked at the missions of the JG 26 Gruppen also in detail for my research and they don't seem to be likely candidates either. Could of course be individual pilots that decided to refuel at Venlo and not a complete Staffel/Gruppe. Again, any idea about time or number of aircraft?
