Hptm. Werner Thierfelder - Gruppenkommandeur II./ZG 26 ?
Was Hauptmann Werner Thierfelder in command of II./ZG 26 when in Russia in winter of 1941-42? Could someone in the know list all the Kommodoren and Kommandeure of ZG 26 and SKG 210 (ZG 1) during their stay in Russia? My sources don't match
Thanks in advance! ![]() |

Re: Hptm. Werner Thierfelder - Gruppenkommandeur II./ZG 26 ?
A search of our files was not very helpful in resolving who was Kdr. of II./ZG 26 on the winter of 1941/42 but the implication was that it was most likely Johannes Shalk or possibly Ralph von Rettberg. Regarding Thierfelder, we have:
THIERFELDER, Werner. (DOB: 24.12.15 in Berlin). 09.39 in II./ZG 26. 10.10.41 Oblt., awarded Ritterkreuz, Staka in II./ZG 26. 03.11.42 Oblt., awarded DKG, 5./ZG 2. 22.04.43 Oblt. in ZG 26, ordered to RLM (Stab/Gen.d.Jagdflieger – L.In.3) for temporary duty. 09.06.43 Oblt., permanently trf to RLM (Stab/Gen.d.Jagdflieger – L.In.3). 15.12.43 Hptm., appt Leiter (Führer) Erprobungskommando 262 at Lechfeld (to 18.07.44). [06.44 Kdr. III./ZG 26] - perhaps 18.07.44 Hptm., KIA – in Me 262 crash near Lechfeld while attempting to intercept a U.S. bomber formation over South Germany; this was the first operational loss of an Me 262 jet. Credited with 27 air victories plus 41 more destroyed on the ground. We hope that this helps HLdZ DGS |

Re: Hptm. Werner Thierfelder - Gruppenkommandeur II./ZG 26 ?
Yevgeny,
I'm a bit confused on these dates: Hptm. Werner Thierfelder StaKa 4./ZG 2, 01.07.1942-06.1942 Hptm. Werner Thierfelder StaKa 5./ZG 2, 06.1942-09.1942 Also, concidering the fact that he his supposed to have claimed 27 air victories, I have never found any specific details on any of his claims. Can anyone provide some? Thanks, Tom |
