Seeking info on Oblt Werner Thierfelder of Stab I./ZG26 during 1940

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

At the EoE we're working on a color profile for the Stab I./ZG26, a/c U8+BB during the fall of 1940 (White nose). This is long after Proske was lost in an a/c with that code on 18.08.40. This a/c was flown by the Gr Kdr, Hptm Makrocki on a trip back to Germany @ 10.40 for a funeral. His normal a/c would have been U8+AB. It's been suggested that Thierfelder was the possible pilot of that a/c, although U8+BB would have normally been the Gr ADj. However, this a/c in question carries a scoreboard consistent with Thierfelder's for the time (6 vict tabs). Does anyone know who the Gr Adj for I./ZG26 was after Proske went down in mid-August? I have an Oblt Fleckner from 3 Staffel as possibly in that position or also possibly Oblt Richard Schubert. Who can help sort this out? I'd like to put a regular pilot in this a/c during the fall of 1940.
