[Peter Cornwell]

Not AFK just yet. My source for the entry quoted by Larry was the GQM Returns which quotes the unit as 3./KG51 and the surname of the Stakap as 'PLOESCHKE'. However, DIERICH provides 'PLISCHKE' and Stakap of 8./KG51 so 'you pays your money & takes your choice'. Unfortunately, neither variation features in the VDK database nor in my 1944 edition of the Dienstalterliste so I am unable to verify one way or another though I do note that Matti also has him listed as PLISCHKE and Stakap of 3./KG51. So call off the hounds - the approaching chords of Black Betty are deafening.
