Fw Gerd Wähler, 8/KG 77
Can anyone confirm the fate of this Beobachter who was with 8/KG 77 from 1940 until at least 17 Apr 41 and is said to have been killed later

Re: Fw Gerd Wähler, 8/KG 77
Is the Bf in this crew the same guy? A search of that name amongst the crews of the Ju 88 losses I have results in 2 hits for this last name, the first with III./KG 77 in Dec-40.

Many thanks-I would guess it is the same man. What do you have for the Dec 40 mention?

Re: Fw Gerd Wähler, 8/KG 77
Sorry no. My interest is he was part of the Sissimato crew taken POW 17 Apr 41; they did one mission that night but he felt unwell for the 2nd so did not go

Re: Fw Gerd Wähler, 8/KG 77
FYI - for clarity, these are the fields as defined in my database, comma separated, that that mishmash of data represent (and these can vary depending upon posting data straight from a table or a query-I'm too lazy to re-format) -
For the Ju 88(s) from table - Flugzeuge, WNr., Plane Commander/Pilot, FF or vics (sorties), Staffel or Gruppe, KG, Nummer Farbe, Kennummer, Stammkennzeichen, Markings, Date, Remarks, Other Comments, Front, References, See Also, Locale, Bruch %, H/F, Crew, Time, Build Info For the Do 17 - from query - Date, Time, Flugzeuge, WNr., Plane Commander/Pilot, Staffel or Gruppe, KG, Kennummer, Stammkennzeichen, Remarks, Other Comments, Crew, Front, References, See Also, Locale, Bruch %, H/F |
