15 May 40 Kaminski victory

[Stig Jarlevik]

Hi All, I'm back...

Looking at Tony Wood's pages I am quite surprised that there seems to be no victory claims by any ZG during 1941 on the eastern front. Since there must have been, how come Tony and obviosuly no one else has managed to locate any? Are they especially difficult to find or has every researcher found them "uninteresting"??

Why I ask because I was interested in the topic arising regarding Kaminski. He was, if I have understood it right, one of those colorful characters inside the Luftwaffe and also survived the war. He also must have been one of the "lowest" scoring RK winners in fighter circles of the Luftwaffe.

Do you have some idea regarding his 5th victory and where it took place?
Seems like after the Battle of Crete, I./ZG 26 was moved to the Eastern Front. I cannot locate the place Lunna you list. Any chance of advising a bigger place I can look for? The Martin bomber referred to is probably a Tupolev SB bomber, right?

Anyone who can give me more details about his dates (how long was he Kommandeur of I./ZG 26 for example?) than this page? http://luftwaffe.cz/kaminski.html
The victory dates there differ from your list, Jeremy, and I wonder from where the claim of a B-17 with ZG 76 in 1943/4 originate?

Cheers
