KG 1,3 and 4

[Marius]

Hi Denes,
I hope you are fine! Indeed it was a long time ago...

Do you know a publisher who would let translate it (from German) into English and bring it out?

Steve,
I will try to make some claim and loss lists everybody understands.
You can buy the book in Poland. Please mail me later, I have to ask for it.

Hello RobertWith great interest I have read your report of 6-27-2005 to Adam today. I investigate just at the story of the KG 1 of 1939 to 1940., too. I especially need information about uses of the Stabsstaffel of the KG1 over Poland , France and England: ( Heinkel He 111, V4+FA ), Which strength had the Stabsstaffel (types and codes) and which airfields were used till Septembers 1940. Perhaps do you also have information about the combat missions against France and England? Can you help me?It is the history of my uncle, he was fired over England in September 1940. I am grateful to you for every small note. A question: There still is the book for !!!, I would be interested !! I would be happy to hear of you.Kind regardsRainer'
