Oblt Steiner / Steinant / Steinat, 6./ZG76

[Andre Stewart]

Guys, thanks for the info. Great stuff!

Larry, yes this would appear to be the right guy, as movement from Erg.St./ZG76 to II./ZG76 makes sense.

Andreas, thanks for the GQM extract.

Anyone know Oblt Emil Steinat's wartime fate?

Larry,

I just noticed your entry -- '24.07.44 in 11./JG54'.

I think this date is incorrect, but the unit is correct. Based on the loss date, we know Oblt Steinat was with 6 Staffel II./ZG76 in Jan 1945 when he was injured, and since this Gruppe became III./JG54 in Feb 1945, he probably returned to his old unit upon recovery: 6./ZG76 --> 11./JG54.

Thanks, Andre. I have no idea where that entry came from so I can't check back to see if there's a typo there, but I agree with you and I'll fix it up in our data base.

Cheers, Larry
