List of StaKa's I./ZG 1, Erpr.Gr.210, I./SKG 210, I./ZG 1.

[John Manrho]

I./ZG 1 became I./ZG 26 in October 1943 (approx. 13.10.1943). Your Staffelkapitäne of 1./ZG 1 after Ossmann have no relation to the original unit. This new I./ZG 1 is a new unit (ex-V./KG 40) and has no relation to the old I./ZG 1. Of course the new I./ZG 26 became I./JG 6 in 1944.

regards,

John.

Yep, thx for info Chris & John. Also, i found this

On 13.10.43 renamed I./ZG26:

Stab I./ZG1 became Stab I./ZG26
1./ZG1 became 1./ZG26
2./ZG1 became 2./ZG26
3./ZG1 became 3./ZG26

Reformed 10.43 at Lorient from V./KG40 with:

Stab I./ZG1 from Stab V./KG40
1./ZG1 from 13./KG40
2./ZG1 from 14./KG40
3./ZG1 from 15./KG40

In 1.44 3./ZG1 and 7./ZG1 exchanged designations. On 12.7.44 moved to Welzow and was renamed II./JG4:

And Ossmann was StaKa of Staffel during Battle of Kursk, in july 1943... And could survive during that spoil of blood on 12 - 13 july over Bolkhov operation ...

Any information about StaKa's of 2 Staffel?

THX for Info, John!

Did You received my email? There are some news & photoes...

[John Vasco]

Eugen,

Yes, I got the e-mail. I have seen those photos before. But I do love all 'Wespe' photos!

[Evgeny Velichko]

Nice to hear it abot You like all Wespen photoes

But sorry... It seems You have all Wespe photoes, & there are no new photoes for You in all wourld whitch You dont seen before You are very happy man

I like Wespen to... But here in Russia are very few photoes aviable to see, because of lack books about ZG 1...

Look on this photoes: is it ZG 1? 126b - Bf110 has Yellow band "in Wespe" style, 241b - code "2N + __"

About Ossmann He served in I./SKG 210 & ZG 1, and had not less than 3 claims:

Sorry, I just missunderstood You... "After Ossmann", not "Ossmann".
