Hi Chris, I'm looking for the period from 10.5.40 to the end of 1940.

Was Hptm Oskar Wolff St.Kap of 5/KG77, and Oblt.Ernst Berbecker St.Kap of 6/KG77? Up to press there is no publication of the history of his unit in print so I don't know of any command listings!

Steve: There was a KG 77 Association some years ago and I have heard no plans to write a history of the unit. The Association made a list so:


5 Staffel
Hptm Wilhelm Bues (?) + 29 Aug 40
Hptm Günther Zetsche +27 Sep 40
Oblt Klaus von Nasse


6 Staffel
Oblt Ernst Berbecker to 31 Aug 40
Hptm Hans-Jörg Leuze to 29 Oct 40
Hptm Dietrich Peltz

Hi Chris thank you for your reply and help.
Its quite amazing a unit as rich in history and active from the first day of the war until the end as not been highlighted in some form of publication.
Perhaps we may see such a publication in the future from somebody maybe like Lela Presse?

Best regs,

Only if there is an expert on the unit. Do 17s to Ju 88s then you get KGr 606 becoming part of it then it becomes KG 26. Knowing how much work is needed to write about a unit, the time is no longer right with veterans no longer with us. Same can be said of KG 3, KG 28, KG 30, KG 40, KG 76
