Re: I./JG 76 losses on op. Market Garden

Hi, Peter

Have no idea what they did. Lost one aircraft on 11.10.1944, the pilot was wounded, so a NVM should exist.

Regards,
Andreas B

Peter,

I./JG 76 lost several pilots during Market Garden as they were part of 3. JD. They also posted some claims. What are you looking for?

Thanks,

John

Re: I./JG 76 losses on op. Market Garden

Hi John and thanks
It is just marginal interest...I./JG 76 was ex I./ZG 76 wich is in my research scope right now...so I wanted to know how the continued, maybe how some pilots ended. If some who had success with ZG 76 died while with I. JG 76...as for example Dziarnowski...
Can you help with this? we can discuss it offboard as well...

THANKS

Re: I./JG 76 losses on op. Market Garden

Hi, John and Peter!

Please do not discuss off board

Checking with regards to dates I come up with the following 'timespan' for Market Garden, 17.9.1944 - 25.9.1944

Returning to Peters initial question I am definitely interested in obtaining information that might not have been reported. I have a LOT of losses for this unit on the days leading up to 17.9.1944, but then it fades out, and I wonder what you have found John.

I will list what I have myself:

Aircraft losses:

Goddammit -- why cant this stupid board accept html tables.... will have to rewrite tonight

Personnel losses:

Goddammit -- why cant this stupid board accept html tables.... will have to rewrite tonight

Do you have further information? Could it be that the losses for Market Garden where filed by another unit?

Regards,
Andreas B

Re: I./JG 76 losses on op. Market Garden

HI both

I made a mystake, a bit...moving Market Garden a month later sorry for this...
Seeing victory list, they claimed 5 P-51s on sept 11, and 7 B-17s on the next day...
then next victories on sept. 27...i believe it was related to bad weather, which also lead to not very succesfull start of Market Garden op.
BUT, some losses were recorded during those two weeks (Andreas we know the numbers right? )So did they try to fly or try to fly against the Dakotas etc...or was it connected to other air operations?combats?

As I said I am interested in this I./JG 76 only due to the fact that most of the pilots were former ZG 76 pilots and want to know soem stories if there are any possible to read out of it. John thus info on Dziarnowski and Bischoff, and others would be warmly welcomed...

Re: I./JG 76 losses on op. Market Garden

Hi, guys

Very interesting overview John. Now we only have to link these to the correct reports... which might be a quite interesting job!

Looking through my data, we have to establish at least two things:

1. What unit designation did the aircraft flown by the pilots registered as being part of I./JG 76 get reported by?

2. What unit designation did the pilots get reported as belongong to.

It is of interest to note that at least a few of these losses where reported by IV./JG 300. For some reason, this designation was used for some aircraft on for example 12.9., 13.9., 18.9 and 19.9 - but then there is a 'hole' until the unit designation IV./JG 300 is used again from 5.11. So what is going on? What unit were the so called 'Halter' of the aircraft operated? Other references I have state that the IV./JG 300 were not formed until end of September... and yet there must have been some confusion with regards to the use of the new designation.

I am not an expert on the units in this area, you got an idea John?

Regards,
Andreas B
