[schnellmeyer]

Here is what we have about him in our Officer Career Database:

DALSTEIN, Werner. (DKG). 09.41 Oblt., appt Staka Stab St./KG 26 (to 12.42). 25.05.42 Lt., awarded the Ehrenpokal. 16.08.43 Oblt. assigned to the Stab of an unspecified Fliegerführer, awarded the DKG.

Kracker's database has nothing about this fellow.

I looked at a number of personnel indices and came up dry.

That's all we can find. Why do you think he was associated with III./KG 40? What information do you have about this fellow?

His name does not crop up with anything I have on III/KG 40 either with He 111 or FW 200 but that is not to say he did not fly with III/KG 40

This is what I have with Oblt. Dalstein's name on it . I got this with some Fw 200 photos lately .

[Chris Goss]

Try Googling him. It would apear his EP is with a private collector in the USA

[schnellmeyer]

Yes , you are right Chris . I also saw it on the WAF forum . But the owner has no details about Dalstein .
