Re: Halbstaffel 1.(F)/120 on 8 May 1945

If I'd known what I was going to start, I'd have kept quiet! So unless somebody lives close to Freiburg and can check the file … I was supposed to be researching the Italian front at the time, so this was just an interesting distraction for me. Plus this was all before digital cameras, so all I have is a pencil note and I hadn't yet learned to write down the German and worry about translating it later.


The context of the document was the disbandment of some units and the reinforcement of these remaining. Here is what I wrote down:
19.02.45

2 half Staffel 1/120 reinforced to reinforced to make 1. and 2. St.


… A/c to hand:


1/124 7 Ju 188 & 6 Ju 88
1. Halbstaffel/120 9 Ju 88
2 " " 5 Ju 88
