Looking for host...

[steve sheridan]

Good afternoon Pawel, many thanks for providing the links to your work,
marvellous stuff so far.
The link for the KG100 ops is most interesting, hope to see more of your research on these very pages in the in the near future.

Best regs,
Steve.

Sure, I'll post what I've managed to compile... just need to clean up the files. I wasted enormous amounts of time for this project and it would be a shame to abandon it altogether and leave the files on my hardrive to disappear one day

After that I'll probably concentrate on family matters and modelling

Thank you Pawel for your time and effort, it is appreciated.
It would be a great shame if this information was to be lost.

Kindest regs,
Steve.

Information on I./Z.G. 1 is somewhat limited, claimfilm (not included in the file) and loss reports, three logbooks. I've also got a lot of NVMs for I. and II./1 from 1941 to 1944 but ironically only one sheet for July 1943 and nothing for August.

Hello Pawel,

in the JG 51 material I've found an misreaded information (from FB):

27/8/1943
Gluchow
Schack -
0640 0810 Uhr - Fw 190 +7w, Gluchow - Gluchow : Schutz für 1 Fw 189 im Raum Ssewsk, Fdb., mit 60? Pe-2, 40 Jäger, 25 Il-2

1225 1337 Uhr - Fw 190 +0w, Gluchow - Gluchow : Stukaschutz i.R. 4213, Fdb. mit 12 Pe-2, 15 Jäger und 20 Il-2,

1745 Notlandung Uhr - Fw 190 +0w, Gluchow - Notlandung : Schutz für Ju 87 und He 111 i.R. 4213, Fdb. mit 6 Lagg-5


0640 - 0810: 60 correct
1225 - 1337: "...15 Il - 2 und 20 Jägern"
1745 - ... : the FB mentioned "Fdbr. mit (an me unknown number of Lagg 5 because the number and the word "und" are not readable) 6 Airacobra" (maybe an misinterpretation by the FB but Airacobra is quite good readable)

Best regards
Rasmussen

[Pawel Burchard]

Thanks Rasmussen, I'll double check the logbook in the evening but regarding the last entry - Schack claimed LaGG-5 according to his Leistungsbuch and claimfilm so I might have deliberately changed the type... I shouldn't do such things though
