Insignia for the Stabstaffel of KG2 circa 1940

[Larry Hickey]

Peter,

Yes, there is a "K-Report" filed for this a/c and the interrogation of the crew:

"A.I.1.(k) Report No. 277/1940

PLACE, DATE, and, TIME: Wickham Brook 23.8.40 0920 hours.
TYPE and MARKS: Do.17Z U5 + EA (E Duck egg blue)
Shield: Falling from cloud, a man sitting on bomb and holding a telescope.
UNIT: Geschwaderstab K.G.2
IDENTITY DISC: 58205
FELDPOSTNUMEMER: L 34222
AUSWEIS: Grey – issued Wurzburg – three on 30.1.40 and one on
1.3.40..."

From there it goes on to describe the mission flown and information on the crew.

For the EOE project, we've acquired a copy of and tediously re-typed all 1000 or so K-Reports for 1939-40 so that they can be integrated into our research data bases. This was well over a thousand type-written pages due to the fact that many of the reports are more than a page in length. We also have typed into our DB all of the British "G-Reports" that are strictly based upon examination of all the a/c wreckage through 31.12.40. Unfortunately, the file that I acquired for these reports doesn't begin the report sequence until late-August, 1940, after the loss of U5+EA, so there in no "G-Report" on this one in our system. If someone knows of the existence of one, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Regards,
