Chris, I have sent you an e-mail concerning this document set.
By 'in depth research' I meant piecing together and writing a research piece on this man, incorporating all available published information and the info posted here on this forum. In reality, I fo not think I will ever be able to nail down the dates of his movements in the last year of his life unless his Flugbuch, Soldbuch or Wehrpass surface. I will go simply on the concrete dates and units evident on his documents as the primary source.
Interestingly, the document set did indeed arrive today and it also contained a very nice portrait photo of Wilhelm Spring, brother of Georg Spring and also a Luftwaffe pilot. The reverse of the photo indicates his demise on 22-09-42 in Russia. Is anyone able to pass on any details of the aircraft and unit? As always, any help will be very gratefully received indeed.
Regards Richard.
