Hptm Herbert Stry

Can anyone confirm that Hptm Herbert Stry was KIA 21Sep43 and what unit was he flying with at the time (5./StG 3?).

Regards

Re: Hptm Herbert Stry

Something doesn't add up Jim

III./StG 3 was based at Bagerovo, southern Russia at this time. II./StG 3 was based at Argos, Greece. Stry was serving with 7./StG 3 on 02Jul42 when he received the DKiG, but was with 5./StG 3 on 24Sep42 when he received the RK and S7+CP would be a 6 staffel machine. Is it possible that the staffel number is in error on the Gen.Qu.6.Abt. microfilm?

Regards

Entirely possible. All kinds of errors like that in the Gen.Qu. reports.

Obermaier says Stry was Stkp. of 6./St.G. 3 when he was killed.
