Military Career of Harro Wooge. KG 27
Hello I'm George and a friend recommended me this Forum. My pleasure.
I'd like to know the military career of Harro Wooge and get some pic from him if It's possible. I have this info from him:
Leutnant Wooge was a pilot in 3/Kampfgeschwader 27 ¨Geschwader Boelcke. KG 27 flew Heinkel 111 bombers. The squadron was involed in the Battle of Britain and the Invasion of Russia in 1941. During this time, Lt. Wooge earned the Iron Cross 2nd and 1st Class. On April 13, 1942 Lt. Wooge was awarded the Ehrenpokal ( Goblet of Honor for Distinguished Achievements in DKiG(German Cross in Gold) on September 24, 1942. On May 1, 1944 Oberleutnant Wooge was appointed Adjutant of I/KG 27 and held that position until December 20, 1944. In November of 1944, KG 27 was reorganized as a fighter unit and renamed KG ( J ) 27. It is not known if Wooge stayed with KG 27 or was transferred. Wooge was also promoted to Hauptmann either in 1944 or 45.
If I'm correct KG 27 was involved in the bombarding of Stalingrad.
Thanks in advance, George
