Hptm Gerhard Schashke, III./ZG76

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Hello all,

I don't know anything of Schashke but a later nightfighter pilot in Venlo has been Oblt. Wolfgang Thimmig, who had also been Adjudant of Grabmann, according to Armand van Ishoven's 'Bf110 at War'.

1) you can add Thimmig to the Stab/ZG 76 before he joined NJG 1 in the winter of 1940/1941
2) what is more likely: Thimmig as successor of Schashke or vice versa?

All the best, Marcel / Venlo
