Re: Victory Lists for I./ZG52 during the French Campaign

I have a couple of claims for Elstermann from NJG 3 in 42 & 43.

Re: Victory Lists for I./ZG52 during the French Campaign

Tom,

the logbook starts on 9.9.1939 and Elstermann was already with 2./ZG 52.

Marcel,

in my opinion he was not with I./NJG 1. However, from 2.11.1941-11.1.1942 he was at Venlo, maybe learning the trade? Can you send me a scan of that picture, curious if it is indeed our man....

cheers,

John.

According to Werner Hoffmann, when he returned to flying duties after having been shot down on 19 Jun 40, he was posted to Obstlt Vollbracht's Erg-Zerstoerergruppe at Vaerlose where he met Willy Elstermann
