Re: Luftwaffe POW May 1941, ZG 26, KG 26?

Hi David

Have you access to my co-authored 'Air War for Yugoslavia, Greece & Crete'? If not, you should be able to get a copy from your local library (assuming you're in the UK). A few of the names appear and could possibly be your chaps:

Schilling - I have a Ltn Hugo Schilling who was shot down on 20 May while flying Do17 U5+OR of III/KG2; and also Ltn Deiter Schilling of 8/StG2 shot down in Ju87 T6+HS on 21 May (although I note he was killed)

Fandery - could possibly be Fw Georg Fanderl of 1/KG51 shot down on 3 May in Ju88 9K+LH that crashed on Crete (so possibly captured if survived).

Eickhorn - the only Eickhorn I have listed was Hptm Siegried von Eickhorn, Gruppenkommandeur of I/LG1 but I don't think he was shot down over Crete.

Do bear in mind that my book was reserached in the 1970s/80s and published in 1987, so more recent research may provide better/additional answers to your queries.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Brian
