There is another big update, among other things (almost) complete war diary Nr. 7 of III./K.G. 55 - http://www.mizsio.pl/kriegstagebuecher/

[Pawel Burchard]

Have made some cleanup of KTB Nr. 7 and uploaded first part of KTB Nr. 4 of III./55

Pawel

Another part of KTB Nr. 4 done and uploaded.
One interesting thing I noticed, ist that - judging from the way city names in the Ukraine are written in the diary - German airmen must have been using Polish maps of the period ...nothing strange with this actually. Also I tried to match the names in KTB with present names in intl. notation, they're given in italic script.

[Pawel Burchard]

For those interested further part of KTB Nr. 4 of III./K.G. 55 has been posted - http://www.mizsio.pl/kriegstagebuecher/3554_02.html

An entry from 1.8.41 -
Eigene Jäger rechtzeitig zur Stelle. 12.45 wurde eine Rata beobachtet die in etwa 1500 m nach Angriff durch Me 109 senkrecht zu Boden stürzte.

Could this be the claim made by Walther Dahl, I-16 over Kiew at 1300 hrs?

[George Hopp]

Wonderful material, Pawel. Thank you for sharing it.
All the best,
George

Another part of KTB Nr. 4 posted. This part covers few operations of III./55 detachment against Moscow in late July 1941 flown from Borisow airfield (Barysau, NE from Minsk) in Belarus. This is interesting as it actually should have been flown from Bojary (Bajary) airstrip.

regards,
Pawel
