Re: Seeking ID of German AF, possibly Breslau, where this StG77 funeral was being held circa Aug-Oct, 1939

Hello.

I have the following from the Luftflotte 4 Führungsabtlg. I a op:

Nacrichtlich: RLM Genst.6.Abt.
Bisher gemeldete Verluste der Luftflotte 4 vom 22.9.1939.

Zauber meldet:
A 1., Oblt Walter Polt Nachr.Offz. Stab Stuka 77 durch Flaktreffer über Modlin tödlich verwundet.

These messages ar additions or corrections to the loss records submitted from the Luftflotte 4 to the Gen.Qu. earlier on - in this case additional information.

In my opinion this is a pure personnel loss - the aircraft was most likely only slightly damaged and not reported as a loss.

The position this officer held in the unit would probably be the background for a well photographed funeral service.

Regards,
Andreas B
