Thank you for the info. What is the date/time in KTB FdT with that comparison?

Best regards,

It seems my memory is not that good

Actually on 25.August FdT wrote in his war diary:
Quote:
Damit dürfte auch der zweite ostgehende Geleitzug restlos vernichtet sein. Die Anwesenheit der 7 Ju 88 des Hauptmann Peltz gerade im jetzigen Zeitpunkt ist außerordentlich erwünscht. Hierdurch geht der lange gehegte Wunsch, zum Schutze der Jumindasperre über Luftstreitkräfte zu verfügen, unerwartet in Erfüllung. Abgesehen davon, daß rein zahlenmäßig durch diese Maschinen eine Kampfkraft zur Verfügung steht, die der FFO kaum je für diese Aufgabe hätte freimachen können, muß hervorgehoben werden, daß es sich bei Hauptmann Peltz und seinen Besatzungen um hervorragend einsatzfreudige und vorzüglich geschulte Flieger handelt. Es ist eine Freude mit diesem unermüdlichen und von echtem fliegerischen Geist beseelten jungen Offizieren zusammenarbeiten.
KTB FdT (PG-70646) pg.70

Direct comparison with Fliegerführer Ostsee (FFO above) is not done, but in other places he made skeptical remarks about reconnaissance results of FFO. Maybe that's not a fair comparison, as II./KG77 was used as attack unit, but in quote above I can see plenty of positive emotions.

Thanks you, too

In fact, very warm praise. Do not everything that is nice is really true, count results. It is difficult on the basis of clear evaluation, even though it is a very nice looking?

Regards,
