Hi Don: I've been doing a little cross referencing Re: my inquiry to you on Obfw. Max Martin. I'm wondering if this sounds feasible to you. In your response you had stated your notes indicated he was with 3/ZG76, flying bf109's, and his claim was on 26.9.39. I'm wondering if this was in fact 3/ "Jagdgruppe 176", which was later redesignated 6/ZG76, on conversion to bf110's? Further to this, both Chris Shores in "Fledgling Eagles", and Peter Cornwell in "Battle of France,T+N" confirm that on 26.9.39, both 2 and 3/ Jgr.176 were engaged in combat with French bombers, including Bloch 131's. The unit was flying bf109D's at the time. Although Martin is not mentioned specifically, the other circumstances seem to match up. I welcome your ( or anyone else's!) opinion on this. Thank you. Dean.
