Oblt Hans-Joachim Gerlach 6/JG27 EKM
Hi all,
Does anyone have the NVM for the loss of Oblt Hans-Joachim Gerlach (DOB 26.09.10) StaKa 6./JG27 POW on 14.04.41? I'm particularly after his EKM number. In the Officer DB it states "01.12.39 Oblt./ trf from A./Fl.Ausb.Rgt.62 to II./JG 26 and appt StaKa 6./JG 27." This statement doesn't add up as he became StaKa 6./JG 27 late 1940 after being in JG 2 Was he in JG 26 before that? His EKM should indicate which unit he was in around March 1940 or whether he was assigned a number later after a role in a training unit. Regards Craig...

Re: Oblt Hans-Joachim Gerlach 6/JG27 EKM
Thanks Matti
The EKM is for 6./JG 27 and with a late number of 23 looks like he was issued late 1940 in line with when he became Staka 6./JG 27. Looks like the transfer date could possibly be 01.12.40 rather than 01.12.39? Also, this puts in doubt Gerlach being in JG2 in 1940? More questions than answers Thanks anyway Regards, Craig...

I have him with Stab II./JG 2 as Stellv Gr Kdr to 20 Aug 40. I wonder if Schellmann took him to JG 27 as I do have a photo of both of them on their departure

I was wondering if the JG 2 Hptm Gerlach was the same as the 8./JG27 Hptm Gerlach as first names are not always listed Thanks again Regards Craig...
