I doubt they have checked their films. Anyway, IWM should have their copies, as well as, yes, I believe those films come from original IWM holdings. Unless I mistaken my notes! Have you received entries from Feric's diary?

Note the mix between east and west!

Chris,

Intresting to note the additional Luftwaffe Dieppe loss, I'd missed that one when I went through the IWM QM Log. I guess with most of the Gruppen transferred to the Eastern Front this admin error is understandable. (An intelligence report (in TNA AIR 22/495) estimated that only four aircraft of the Gruppen remained in the west at the time of Jubilee).

I'm guessing, but would Oblt Berkemann have been the Staffelkaptain of 8./KG53 at the time of his loss?

Regards,

Steve Pegge

St Kap should have been Oblt Heinz Eicke
