Info on 4. (F)/ 11 and pilot Dietrich Bardt

[Asso di bastoni]

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble finding information on the commanders and operation theaters of the 4. (F)/ Aufklaerungsgruppe 11 and on one of its pilots, Hauptmann Wulf Dietrich Bardt. Any help would be much appreciated. Do you have any data? In case are there reference books you would recommend?

Best regards, Elia

Have a look at http://www.ww2.dk/air/recon/aufklg11.htm which will give you locations of bases (not all)

Download the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries from http://www.ww2.dk/lwoffz.html and then search for the Staka 4.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 11
