Fighter Units Erkennungsmarken, mid 1944?
Hi All,
I have two EM's for unnamed pilots lost on 12th and 14th July 1944, 60012 and 68455, could these be for 4/JG27 and 7/JG3, I suspect that the first one could belong to Hauptmann Otto Meyer, any help would be great.
Thanks
Joe

Hi Reiner,
Thanks very much, hopefully this will help to identify Otto Meyer's grave, IF the VDK can find it, he crashed at Authie, 2km West of Caen at 1405 hrs on 12th July 1944.
Regards
Joe

Hi,
Confirmation from the VDK that Hauptmann Otto Meyer's EM was 60012/3, Stab IV/JG 27, not 26!
Joe.

Here, the EM-lists from VDK for the J.G.27 and 26.
I think Meyer moved from J.G.26 to 27.
