Help with handwriting
I need help with interpretation of some text in a Leistungsbuch I was lucky to buy. To me it looks like a mix of Kurrent and Schütterlind, if that is so doesn’t really matter, I have problems getting through the text. Some words here and there I’m able to get but not the full meaning.
Good to know, it’s the eastern front, the first mission is 10 June 44 and the second 17 June 44. The Leistungsbuch is for a Beobachter (Günther Baumgarten) that just have transferred to 7./KG 4 (from 1./KG7). In June 7./KG 4 should have been at Bialystok but the starting place for the missions looks like “Karl”, don’t know where that might be. I also wonder what the abbreviations P.A. and P.Z. stands for. Other missions they go “als zielfinder”. I can also see that two of the columns has the same writing.
The full Leichtungsbuch is just for about 100 days, April to July 44 and 35 missions, but still quite interesting, there are Kurierflüg to and from Sevastopol just before the last evacuation of the Crimea and I’m able to follow the retreat from Criemea to Romania and then to Poland with targets going westwards.
All help I can get is much appreciated.
Thank you
Peter
