Info sought on Ofw. Paul Förster's three daylight victories with 3./ZG26 in 1940

Dear all,

Who can confirm that Zerstörer pilot Ofw. Paul Förster (who was later in the war KIA on 1 October 1944 serving as Kommandeur of I./NJG1) achieved three victories in daylight with 3./ZG26 in 1940? What are the details of these three claims?

Thanks for any info, Theo

Hi Theo

I have tenuously :-

10th May 1940
14th May 1940
8th June 1940

Not on the mikrofilms, so certainly questionable. I also have him born 31st March 1902, so an old flieger.

Kind Regards

Johannes
