Info on Berge Batallions (I-IX), Bergungskommandos, Zerlegebetriebs and all other related units?

[Peter D Evans]

Can anybody help with this enquiry forwarded to me via email?

On a different subject, I am desperate to get my hands on information (not included in "Luftwaffe Codes, Markings and Units 1939-45") regarding Luftwaffe aircraft salvage operations for my current book. I am looking for information such as unit names, when formed, locations, when disbanded or renamed, organization structure, aircraft operated, etc. for the Berge Batallions (I-IX), Bergungskommandos, Zerlegebetriebs and all other related units. Do you know anyone who would be willing to help me out with that kind of information?

Thanks in advance for any pointers...
