Hello Peter,
Thanks for responding, I just recently know that one can request digitized PERS 6 files as well, so I made a 'to do' list of airfield Venlo personalities with their PERS 6 file numbers. Of course Horst Pause, Kurt Liedke and many other 'obscure' people are on my wish list.
Now that I have a priority list, I have heard and read that requests are difficult/not possible because all the files will be moved to BA/MA Berlin, but I will give it a try, perhaps the already digitized files are potentially accessible.
Let's hope that this thread is read by some JG 53 expert who already has Liedkes file...
All the best, Marcel
