Hi,

The correct WNr. for the loss on the 31.05.42 is 10240.

regards,
Tomi

Thanks for help. So, does it mean that I./JG 53 suffered also no combat loss?

Remi, no, it does not have any connection with Potjans Only just my interest in transfer flight from Germany to the Eastern Front.

Right Tomi, bad interpretation of a bad writing, 10240 seems better, no clues with the transit units for losses hv you a location Michal ??

but at that time seems no special units to hv that task , could one give some info on who was transfering the planes to the front units at that time
