Re: Oberst Eduard Neumann
Hello.
One thing very interesting, "Edu" Neumann got his first victory in Spain the 4th sept. 1937. It was the first victory of 3./ J 88 against a Curtiss and the only one victory in He 51 of the unit during the command of "Dolfo" Galland. This latter will keep a very close friend of "Edu" At the same time the 1 & 2 staffel of J/88 were already on Bf 109. During this mission of the 4th Sept.the protection of the He 51 of the 3./ J 88 was given to the 2./ J 88 on Bf 109 with a victory of Reinhard Seiler another close friend to "Edu".
"Gulle" Oesau met "Edu" of course, because, before to take in charge the new Bf 109 for the 3./ J 88 under the command of "Vati" Mölders they made training on He 51 & old Bf 109 6.6, 6.10, 6.7 and it seem's that it was under the proctective look of "Edu". The same protective look he will have for "Jochen" Marseille in Lybia.
Thank you
