Re: Flugplatz name

Dear All,

Thank you for your replies, these were much appreciated, with one notable exception, which most certainly was not.

I feel that the writing overleaf was correctly deciphered by Franck as "Flugplatz Neumünster", which along with Larry de Zeng's post No.18 above gives the date as 21 September 1939, or later. Not necessarily what I was hoping for, but the photo can now be correctly classified, which I consider to be a positive outcome for the thread.

Regards,
Sinisa

Re: Flugplatz name

Hello All,

Sorry about that reference to Neuruppin in my earlier post.

You will find an excellent shot (p.99, Abb. 4-3 und 4-4) of a Stab II/JG 77 Bf 109 E-3 (<I+-), in the following publication:

Einsatz des Jagdgeschwaders 77 von 1939 bis 1945 - Ein Kriegstagebuch nach Dokumenten, Berichten und Erinnerungen - Teil 1 - 1934 bis Mai 1941.
Prien,Jochen
Eutin:Struve-druck,1992.
pp.99.

p.94.

Auf deutscher Seite lag zur Verteidigung der Deutschen Bucht bei Kriegsbeginn nur die II.JG 77 bereit; deren Stellenbesetzung in den Fuehrungsstellen lautete am 31. August 1939 wie folgt:

Gruppenkommandeur - Obstlt. Carl Schumacher
Gruppe-Adjutant - Major Harry von Buelow
Kapitaen 4./JG 77 - Oblt. Helmut Henz
Kapitaen 5./JG 77 - Hptm. Franz-Heinz Lange

and ...

p.104.

Sonntag, 1 Oktober 1939.

Stab/JG 77 - An Diesem tage erfolgte in Nuemuenster die Aufstellung des Geschwaderstabes JG 77; des erste eintrag im Kriegstagebuch des Stabes/JG 77 lautete (see book for reproduction of War Diary entry).
