3./Erpr.Gr.210 roster, aug.-nov.1940.

[Evgeny Velichko]

Greetings!

I am trying to find out roster (pilots list) for 3./Erpr.Gr.210, while flying Bf109E-4/B, before Staffel was equipped with Bf110E.

As far as I understood, 3 Staffel was compiled with most part of 4./Tr.Gr.186, Lt. Marx from 1./ZG1, Oblt. Wiing (from LW Staff?), Lt. Emmerich from 5./Tr.Gr.186. But I was not able to track down pre-Erpr.Gr.210 regiments of some pilots.

After Staffel was reformed and equipped with Bf110's in november, some pilots, as Emmerich and Schönfeldt, went to JG regiments. Oblt. Wiing went to Staff role(or test regiments ?), while some crews transferred to 1 Staffel (Ruckert) or 2 Staffel (Drawe). But I was not able to track down, where goes Buttner, Vogel, and possible others? Was Lt. Erich Disper a Bf109 pilot, then trained to Bf110?
