KTB of KGrzbV 5 online ;)

[Pawel Burchard]

Hello all, I've uploaded my transcription of microfilmed handwritten war diary of K.Gr.z.b.V. 5 to following address:
http://www.mizsio.pl/kriegstagebuecher/

Was a lot of typing, and while the source is in kind of script there may be errors - hopefully not too much

regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel

May I be the first to thank you for all your efforts on bringing this very important KTB info to the general group of researchers and anyone else interested in this field.

For myself it is invaluable for my research into W/nrs/Stkz and adding anything useful to known losses. Sometimes I have losses but no Stkz to go with them. I have Stkz but no Unit info for these. This info is invaluable

So thanks.

If there is anything that I can add/correct I will get back to you

Regards

Pawel,

Very much appreciated. Can this thread be made a sticky or whatever so as it is not lost?

I wonder if anybody here have access to German publication from 1943 entitled 'Kampfgruppe Scherer - 105 Tage Eingeschlossen'. It contains some rather interesting Luftwaffe-related information incl. photos of Versorgungsbomben and a sketch of Abwurfplatzes. Think I could attach scans to the webpage that would be a nice illustration for part of the KTB.

regards,
Pawel

Glad it wasn't in vain I'll be putting some additional stuff from the so called Gruppenchronik of K.Gr.z.b.V. 5 aka I./K.G. 55 next week with some documents dating from 1942 to August 1944.

regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel,


Thank you for this excellent work !! This is very impressive work and brings me closer towards completing one of my projects.

I am currently working as a co-author on a book on Cholm, i am working on the Luftwaffe part (Trasnporter/Glider/Bomber, etc ...) and this info is once again a very nice piece of the puzzle.

Feel free to contact me for further information.

Cordial greetings,

Pawel,

Many thanks, very nice work, thanks to sharing it.

See you soon,

[Pawel Burchard]

Ok, I've uploaded some stuff from abovementioned Gruppenchronik. Hope not too many typos this time. Have a nice reading. Link remains http://www.mizsio.pl/kriegstagebuecher/

Holá Pawel,
congratulation to this great job and thank you for sharing it with us.
Find attached the images you are looking for in Muck´s book. Not very many photos related to Luftwaffe though. Send me an e-mail for higher resolution copies.
Cheers
