Relating to your earlier post in this thread, you said that you have documents on a 4 Staffel pilot SD and PoW on 29.10.40. Is this Ofw Josef Harmeling? We are doing a color profile of this a/c for the EoE Project, and I would appreciate knowing what kind of documents that you have on this pilot, as we always want to including bio/career info on pilots for which we do profiles.

Hi Larry

Sorry, not been here for a while due to too much work. Yes it is Josef Harmeling and I have all his award certificates (EK2, EK1, Ehrenpokal, Fighter Clasp in Silver, Sudetanland Medal, Wound Badge in Black) letter confirming his capture, his Pilot Licence, letters from the Red Cross confirming him as POW and some pre war correspondence. I have copies from British Intelligence describing his interrogation too.
