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 |
